EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Goddess Teoyaomqui and porphyry sacrificial stone" created by an unknown artist in the 19th century. The print, housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, offers a glimpse into ancient Mexican culture and mythology. The centerpiece of this artwork is a stone statue depicting Teoyaomqui, the Aztec god associated with dead warriors. Adorned with skulls, hearts, and hands, the statue exudes an aura of power and mystique. Interestingly, it bears a striking resemblance to Coatlicue, another significant deity from Aztec mythology. Surrounding the statue is a group of people who have gathered around a flat round stone - possibly the Stone of Tizoc - adorned with flowers and incense. This scene suggests that rituals or offerings are taking place in honor of Teoyaomqui. The detailed watercolor drawing was copied by C. H. S. , as part of their collection documenting indigenous peoples from North America to Mexico during the mid-19th century. Notably inspired by William Bullock's museum exhibition catalog from 1824 on ancient Mexico collected during his travels there in 1823. This evocative image transports viewers back in time to witness both artistic mastery and cultural practices that were prevalent centuries ago. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythologies and our desire to connect with ancient civilizations through art.
