Symbolism in Aztec Design

Calendario Azteca (Aztec Calendar): An intricate design that not only tracked time but also portrayed spiritual beliefs and celestial events. Its detailed patterns are a popular motif in wall hangings and tabletop decors.
Serpiente Emplumada (Feathered Serpent): Representing Quetzalcoatl, a deity of wind and wisdom, this symbol finds its place in many modern art pieces and decorative statues.

Aztec Patterns and Textures

Geometric Designs: Aztecs heavily used geometric patterns, especially in their textiles. These designs, often symmetrical, are perfect for rugs, cushions, and upholstery.
Natural Motifs: Inspired by their surroundings, Aztecs incorporated animals, plants, and other natural elements into their art. These motifs are now popular in wall arts, pottery, and more.

Let the dynamic Aztec patterns elevate your home’s aesthetic. Explore textiles and art pieces at MexRoots that carry the spirit of the Aztec wilderness and geometry.

The Aztec Empire might have been conquered centuries ago, but its cultural and aesthetic essence remains undefeated. Embracing Aztec decor is not just a style choice but an ode to an empire that once was.
