Double Sided Tecpatl Flint and Lizard Symbols Azteca Danza Ayoyotes Rattle
Shaker
Side 1: Tecpatl - Obsidian Knife
Side 2: Aztec Lizard Handmade in Mexico Apprx. 10"
The tecpatl (Aztec sacrificial knife) was an important feature of Aztec
rituals. 'With the knife, priests cut open the chests of sacrificial victims to
extract the heart that would feed the gods, hoping that such a gift would bring
blessings to humankind' (Manuel Aguilar-Moreno). Tecpatl was also one of the
four important year-bearer calendar signs. Tecpatl blades often bore faces, the
teeth and eyes accentuated by inlaid white flint and obsidian (a volcanic
glass). A classic tecpatl face is visible in the tongue of the central deity in
the famous Aztec Sunstone.
