Tell me Kseniya, what meaning does this have. It is so rich in color, and so extravagently ornate!
Artist Reply: In the actecs` myths the world was divided into 4 parts and the centre. Xiuhtecuhtli (idol of Fire) controled the Centre. The East was thought the country of plenty and was devoted to Tlaloc and Mixcoatl (idol of stars and clouds). Sovereighs of the South were Xipe Totec (idol of sowing) and Macuilxochitl (idol of music,dance,spring,flowers and love), but the South was thought a province of evil. The West had good sense so it was the house of Quetzalcoatl. At last Mictlantecuhtli (idol of death) controled the North.
