GOD OF THE SMOKING MIRROR Stone relief, quartzite-limestone, 19 x 19 cm (7.5 x 7.5 inches), inset hanger & back-label ID. Reproduction from the Aztec "Codex Borgia." Aztec deity Tezcatlipoca, "God of the Smoking Mirror," is pictured with a torrent of water streaming from his back and a stylistic fish leaping at his side, as he strides across the earth issuing thunder from his mouth and lightning from his eyes. Notably, he bears human skulls on his war shield. Tezcatlipoca famously lost his foot when he used it as bait for the earth monster Cipactli and wears the smoking mirror in its place. In Aztec mythology, Tezcatlipoca is accused of destroying the world with smoke and fire and actually causing the Great Flood. He is known under various epithets including Huracan, source of the modern word "hurricane.".

PRE COLUMBIAN NAYARIT FIGURINE 400 AD replica Stone statue, quartzite-limestone composite, 4.5 x 3 inches (12 x 7.5 cm), with description. Museum replica Pre-Columbian Nayarit figurine. Shaman-Healer figurine of the Nayarit People, who occupied central Mexico between about 200 BC and 300 AD. Unique to the Nayarit, these unusually emaciated-looking figures with thin arms and exposed ribs are often found in their tombs sitting attentively before the deceased. They are believed to represent the village Shaman-Medicine Man, who could only assist a soul's journey to the Land of the Dead with a combination of prayer and ritual fasting. Historical Background: The Nayarit are best known for the remarkable ceramic figurines they produced.
