Description
Introducing 'Treasures of Mesoamerica' Collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing treasures of Olmec, Mayan, Aztec, Toltec, Zapotec and Mixtec cultures of ancient Mesoamerica. Mesoamerica is a region and cultural area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica, within which a number of pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. Here you will find framed and wrapped canvas fine art prints, featuring Golden Mictlantecuhtli - Aztec God of Death on red and black.
Mictlantecuhtli (meaning Lord of Mictlan), in Aztec mythology, was a god of the dead and the king of Mictlan (Chicunauhmictlan), the lowest and northernmost section of the underworld. He was one of the principal gods of the Aztecs and was the most prominent of several gods and goddesses of death and the underworld (see also Chalmecatl). The worship of Mictlantecuhtli sometimes involved ritual cannibalism, with human flesh being consumed in and around the temple. In the Colonial Codex Vaticanus 3738, Mictlantecuhtli is labelled in Spanish as the lord of the underworld, Tzitzimitl, the same as Lucifer.
