Large 35" Copper Aztec Calendar Wall Plaque – Vintage Mexican Repoussé Art
This substantial 35-inch diameter wall plaque showcases a detailed repoussé depiction of the Aztec Sun Stone, or "Piedra del Sol," centered around the face of Tonatiuh, the sun god. Crafted from solid copper, the piece features concentric rings of day signs and symbolic elements representing ancient Mesoamerican cosmology. The reverse side includes a mounting hook for wall display. Likely produced in Mexico during the mid-20th century, similar pieces have been noted in artisan communities such as Santa Clara del Cobre, renowned for copper craftsmanship. Comparable vintage copper Aztec calendar plaques range in value, with larger and more detailed examples commanding higher prices. This plaque's impressive size and intricate detailing make it a standout decorative piece for collectors of Indigenous art, vintage Latin American décor, or symbolic wall sculptures.
