Ceramic plaque, 'Aztec Calendar in Grey' Art Gallery Sculpture Ceramic - Archaeological 
Angel Cern presents a faithful
replica of the Aztec calendar, known also as the "Sun
Stone." According to pre-Hispanic beliefs, there have been a total
of five suns, including the current one. According to legend,
the previous four, together with humans, were destroyed by the
gods' wrath. The calendar represents the fifth sun and tells
the story of the past four and marks the changing
of the seasons. The Aztecs (or "Mexica," as they called
themselves) believed the sun struggled daily against the forces of
darkness. They aided the sun through human sacrifices. Includes
a pinewood stand painted black.
