Cultured marble, choose from 10" or 17" diameter.
HISTORY: The original of this Aztec calender (now in the Anthropological Museum of Mexico City) is 11 feet in diameter and weighs 25 tons. It is actually two calendars in one: the Xiupohualli or the count of days and the Tonalpohualli or the count of destiny. Before engaging in any activity--whether it was farming, warfare, religion or commerce--the calendar had to be consulted through a priest. The Aztecs attributed invention of the calendar to the feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl.

Chac Mool Statue
Cultured marble in antique stone finish.
HISTORY: Chac Mools have been found across Meso-america, from El Salvador to Michoacan, although most of the best examples come from Chichen Itza and Tula. This Toltec-style offertory figure is in its typical half-reclining position, supporting himself at the elbows, with its head turned to one side. The bowl held on the chests of Chac Mools were receptacles for offerings--often the hearts of sacrificial victims. The original of this Chac Mool is located in a wide platform in front of the entrance to the Temple of the Warriors in Chichen Itza; it is positioned between two large splendidly carved feathered serpent columns that symbolize the god Kukulcan.
