Ceramic plaque, 'Smoke Grey Aztec Calendar' 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.
