When I saw this #Zapotec owl iconography I understood it *could* be inspired by the bird-like pattern that's displayed in the Sun's corona during some #TotalSolarEclipses.
Look what I found. . .

This week’s #Poet in #Mexico has posted! Part 3 of Mes de la Patria, with history, languages, trees, ruins, with #poems from #Zapotec poet Pergentino José Ruiz (his translations into Spanish and mine to English!). ¡Natalia Cruz in Spanish/Zapotec too! ¡Viva México!

The #Zapotec built #Mexico's first major city at Monte Alban around 500 BC, housing 115,000 people on a carved mountaintop. They created #Mesoamerica's earliest writing system and influenced every civilization that followed.
One last one, reposted for #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Pieces. The ancient palace in Mitla, from pre-Columbian Mexico, is covered with geometric mosaics made of small stones fit together without mortar. #mosaic #Mixtec #palace #AncientBlueSky #Mexico #Zapotec #Oaxaca #archaeology #ruins #photography
A bit different for the #PalacesandGardens #exterior theme. The Palace of Mitla is one of the best-preserved palaces of ancient Mexico (2011). The geometric, mosaic friezes adorning the walls are justly famous. #Mixtec #palace #AncientBlueSky #Mexico #Zapotec #Oaxaca #archaeology #ruins #photography

A superb vintage 1980s handmade silver pre Columbian seated Aztec figure/chief sculpture by D'Argenta of Mexico. Stunning incredibly intricate design of a pre-Columbian seated Aztec figure but in shiny silver that brings it into the 20th century! D'Argenta of Mexico is a very high end designer and producer of decorative art and sculpture for the home, and their pieces are always hand-crafted and of the highest quality. They are also very expensive and when new can sell for thousands of dollars! This design has not been in production for decades, but is in great shape showing really very little if any wear! Measures 8" tall by 6-3/8" wide by 3-1/2" deep, and is very heavy likely about 15-20 pounds prior to packing. Original labels etc at back as shown, "D'Argenta Internacional S. A. Hecho en Mexico". Unmarked as to silver content which leads me to believe that it is likely silverplate over brass, and was probably given a lacquer coating as the silver is perfect and spotless as you can see in my photo. Excellent vintage condition.
A superb and quite rare vintage 1980s D'Argenta Mexico handmade silver pre Columbian Seated Zapotec design sculpture.

Using LiDAR, researchers found the 15th-century Zapotec city of Guiengola—long mistaken as a fortress—revealing 1,173 structures across the forested plateau, including temples, residences, terraces, and walls up to 16 feet high.
