Aztec Duality Life and Death Pre-Hispanic Mask Ceramic Replica

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association are inspired by the concept of duality in Aztec spirituality and art for the design of this mask. "Existential duality between life and death is at the root of all conflict within oneself, and in relationship with others. We are born with both impulses, that of living and evolving, and that of dying," explain the Mexican artisans. Experts in pre-Hispanic art, the artisans craft a ceramic mask in which the green side of the face symbolizes life, and the other represents a skull. An ornate headdress with serpents, an eagle and two suns underscore the divine theme of this mask.

Ceramic mask, 'Aztec Duality'

Anita

Oct 30, 2019

Angel Ceron's precious art piece blesses my home.

As many times as my eyes scanned all the art pieces available on Novica's site, again and again I returned to Angel Ceron's "Aztec Duality." The meaning of the mask as well as it's beauty spoke to me, captivated me. And when the two I ordered arrived at my home and I saw them in their three dimensional beauty, I appreciated their sacredness even more. They now hover above the entry to my home, blessing all who enter it.
