Coyolxauhqui, the Mexica Moon Goddess, is one of the most powerful and symbolic figures in all Mesoamerican cosmology.
\nHer image comes from the great circular monolith discovered in 1978 at the base of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan \u2014 a ceremonial stone more than three meters in diameter that narrates the foundational myth of the birth of the Sun and the eternal cycle of day and night.<\/p>\n
According to ancient tradition, Coyolxauhqui led her brothers in a rebellion against their mother Coatlicue. From this conflict was born Huitzilopochtli, the solar deity and protector of the Mexica people, who defeated and dismembered the lunar goddess, casting her body down the sacred mountain of Coatepec. This myth gave rise to one of the most important ritual images of pre-Hispanic America.<\/p>\n
This sculpture faithfully recreates the original circular relief: the dismembered body of the goddess, her ritual bells, feathered headdress and the symbolic elements that identify her lunar and sacrificial nature.
\nIt is not a decorative object, but a sculptural reinterpretation of one of the most important ceremonial monuments of ancient Mesoamerica.<\/p>\n
Each piece is individually handcrafted in our workshop, with special attention to relief depth, texture and historical accuracy, preserving the visual, symbolic and cultural power of the original stone.<\/p>\n
A piece created for collectors, lovers of pre-Hispanic art, dark-academic interiors, cultural spaces and anyone seeking an object with history, myth and true museum presence.<\/p>\n
