Publisher's Synopsis
Text in Spanish. From the eagle (cuauhtli) to the snail (tecciztli), this study pays homage to 40 animals commonly found in Aztec mythology and explores the messages that they signify, such as harmony, sacrifice, and death. Delving into the universe of this ancient culture, this guide features monochromatic, ink-and-brush illustrations that are based on artifacts from the Anthropology Museum and the Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico as well as the Quai Branly Museum in Paris.
