Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Annotation of a sculpture of Tonatiuh. Tonatiuh is the Sun god in the Aztec tradition and represents the fifth and present sun era. He is often depicted with a solar disc on his back surrounded by feathers.[1] In the middle of the disk is the Aztec symbol "Nahui Ollin," or 4 Movement.[2] In this sculpture, he is in a crouched position and sitting on two separate rocks. In addition, he is adorned with many decorative elements, and there is a repetition in the use of circles in these decorations. There were many sacrificial ceremonies to honor Tonatiuh, as the Aztecs believed he needed human heart and blood sacrifices to continue on his rotation across the sky throughout the night.[3]
