Details

María Estela Perlera de Portillo recrea la elaborada escultura de piedra conocida como el "Calendario Azteca" o "Piedra del Sol". Descubierta en la Ciudad de México, la piedra maciza original se exhibe en el Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia. Los aztecas (o mexicas, como se llamaban a sí mismos) creían que el sol luchaba a diario contra las fuerzas de la oscuridad. Ayudaron al sol a través de sacrificios humanos. Este magnífico ejemplo está meticulosamente creado a mano con intrincadas incrustaciones de madera.

“Striking every time you look!”

It never ceases to amaze us how intricate and well-made this piece is... The calendar really makes an impression! Weve hung it in our workshop, where we often work with wood, as inspiration to keep pushing the boundaries and not to balk at complex projects. Many heartfelt thanks to the artisan!

“Gorgeous!!!”

It is even more beautiful than in the online photo and in the catalog! The light to dark woods are combined beautifully and the amount of work to create this piece is awe-inspiring. Not only do I love it, but I took a photo and emailed it to about 10 people and showed it to half a dozen more today. EVERYONE agreed with me. It was my Christmas present to myself. My family room walls and shelves are showcases for items Ive bought during 50 years of travel as well as items from countries I havent yet visited. This is now my favorite piece of all.
