Taxco México Eagle 90 Brooch Pin Pendant Xiuhtecuhtli God Lord of Fire Ceremony
A nice piece of mexicana pre-colonial era, this vintage brooch has two plates of sterling silver (top and bottom) and a black onyx or obsidian in between as background. The front has silver inlay of an Aztec God on a brass chair, I believe is Xiuhtecuhtli, Lord of Fire, Cosmos and Volcanos in a ceremony. He was connected to the Gran Templo de Tenochtitlan (now Mexico DF) The Aztecs were very strong believers of fire and kept constant fires burning inside their homes, so fires were always present in their rituals and the Lord of Fire and Volcanos was known for causing major disasters on Earth so the Aztecs will make rituals to make him happy.
