One of my favorite Mesoamerican pieces, this beautifully crafted vase shows a hummingbird perched on the rim of a cup, possibly representing a flower. While we can’t say for sure what species it is, its blue color suggests it might come from Ecuador, Colombia, or Peru which are home to birds like the Shining Sunbeam or the Violet-tailed Sylph, both known for their vibrant blue feathers. In Chimú culture, blue was linked to sacred turquoise, and this image of the bird may have been introduced to the Mixtec during the Postclassic period, along with metalworking techniques from those regions. Maybe the potter simply painted it that way, inspired by the color of the revered stone. This cup was part of a grand offering, placed to the left of the deceased in Tomb 1 at Zaachila, in the Zimatlán Valley. After the fall of Monte Albán, Zaachila became an important city, home to a prestigious ruling lineage and a center of political power in the Central Valleys. The tomb dates back to 1225 AD. Designed in the codex style, the cup is decorated with rich symbolism. Two bands with stepped edges depict serpents, sacred creatures in Mesoamerican beliefs. Near the rim, the potter carefully painted the spirit animals of deities: a jaguar, two eagles, and an opossum. On the very edge of the cup, a tiny hummingbird rests as if about to take a sip. This piece is one of the finest examples of Mixtec polychrome pottery. The importance of the hummingbird in the afterlife is also clear from a relief on the tomb wall. In Mesoamerican tradition, the hummingbird was tied to warriors (a fitting connection, given its bold and territorial nature), as well as nobility, who prized its shimmering feathers. It was linked to the sun, the rainbow, and fertility, thriving among flowers. Since it seemed to appear and disappear with the changing seasons, it became a symbol of resurrection, embodying both life and death.

This copper turtle is an example of the intricate rattle-making tradition in Paquimé. Like many others, it was crafted using the lost-wax technique, where a wax model is used to create a mold, then melted away to form the final metal piece. Because the lost-wax method destroys the mold in the process, no two rattles are exactly alike. The artifact was discovered in Ballcourt 1 at Paquimé, also known as Casas Grandes, a major pre-Hispanic settlement in northern Mexico that thrived between 1200 and 1400 AD. It was unearthed during excavations led by American archaeologist Charles Di Peso between 1958 and 1961, in what remains the most extensive research campaign at the site. Similar pieces have been found at other ancient sites, showing Paquimé’s trade connections with Mesoamerican cultures. This rattle has a hollow interior, and its tail forms a loop, suggesting it was designed to be worn or hung as an ornament. #mesoamerica #mexico #history #paquimelv #copper #native #indigenous

This black mirror, which belonged to John Dee who was an advisor for Elizabeth I, was originally created in Mesoamerica. Over time, this mirror transformed from a sacred indigenous object into a symbol of European occultism, reflecting the powerful cultural exchanges of the era. This obsidian mirror was brought to Europe after the Spanish conquest, later becoming part of John Dee’s scrying practices in the 16th century. Scrying was the practice of communicating with spirits through the use of mirrors or crystals. Research confirmed its origins in Mexico’s Pachuca region, a predominantly Otomi area. These mirrors show up as tribute items in codices and were used for ritual purposes. These mirrors were made by specialists (tezcachiuhqui) and we have information about them from the Florentine Codex: The mirror stone-seller […] (is the one who makes them), a lapidary, a polisher. He abrades [… with] abrasive sand; he cuts; he carves; he uses glue […] polishes with a fine cane, makes it shiny. He sells mirror-stones—round, circular; pierced on both sides [translucent]; two-faced, single-faced, concave […] Mirrors are seldom used nowadays. For the Mexica, these were used in rituals connected to divination and the deity Tezcatlipoca. Now housed in the British Museum, this artifact tells a story one of conquest, spirituality, and the enduring power of objects across civilizations. #mesoamerica #mexico #history #occult #obsidian #Lemon8 #fyp
