RARE FIND - Framed Aztec Calendar(AKA Sun Stone), Mexican Handmade Art in \"Amate\" Bark Paper - 7\"x9\" Black Frame.Actual artwork is approximately 6” x 8”.
This is a very nice Mexican amate (bark) paper artwork handmade by artisans. \"Amate\" paper (bark paper) is still created using the same millennium technique at Mesoamerica. It is made fully by hand from the bark of the \"ficus\" tree (with sacred meaning). The fibers coming out of the boiled bark are softened with flat volcanic rocks and left to dry in the open air on wooden boards and is fully natural.

When the paper process is finished, it is then hand painted by indigenous people with bright colored acrylic paints, so each is a real \"one of a kind\" artwork.

The aztec calendar or the Sun Stone was carved in \"basalt\" a solidified lava stone, by the dominant group in Mesoamerica 700 years ago. It represents deities and is a count of each day, grouped in 52 yrs. periods. Besides the great mysteries behind the stone, it is also a nice representation of many ancient Mexican gods and nowadays an awesome piece of art.

This is a hand painted drawing depicting the aztec calendar, made fully by hand at Mexico.Beautiful Detail and Handmade using:
