  • Aztec Figurine Studies. in the Post-Classic
    Foreword: Aztec Figurine Studies Michael E. Smith Arizona State University Ceramic figurines are one of the mystery artifact categories of ancient Mesoamerica. Although figurines are abundant at archaeological sites from the Early Formative period through Early Colonial Spanish times, we know very little about them. How were figurines used? Who used them? What was their symbolic meaning? Did these human-like objects portray deities or people? Most scholars believe that ceramic figurines were used in some way in rites or ceremonies, but it has been difficult to find convincing evidence for their specific uses or meanings. The lack of knowledge about the use and significance of ceramic figurines is particularly striking for the Aztec culture of central Mexico. 1 Early Spanish chroniclers devoted literally thousands of pages to descriptions of Aztec religion, yet they rarely mentioned figurines. Ritual codices depict numerous gods, ceremonies, and mythological scenes, yet figurines are not included. Today we have a richly detailed understanding of many aspects of Aztec religion, but figurines play only a minor role in this body of knowledge. An important reason for the omission of figurines from the early colonial textual accounts is that these objects were almost certainly used primarily by women—in the home—for rites of curing, fertility, and divination (Cyphers Guillén 1993; Heyden 1996; Smith 2002), and the Spanish friars who wrote the major accounts of Aztec culture had little knowledge of Aztec women or domestic life (Burkhart 1997; Rodríguez-Shadow 1997). Ceramic figurines can provide crucial information on Aztec domestic ritual and life. They offer a window on these worlds that are very poorly described in written sources.

  • Museo's Multicultural Spring Exhibit to Include Rare Colonial Artifacts
    861 Santa Fe Dr Denver, CO 80204 MUSEO www.museo.org de las Americas FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brent Bulger Marketing & PR Coordinator 303.571.4401 ext.25 January 27, 2017 [email protected] Museo’s Multicultural Spring Exhibit to Include Rare Colonial Artifacts “Tornaviaje/The Return Route” is a showcase of unique Asian influence in early Mexico due to Pacific Colonial trade routes. Image Courtesy of the National Hispanic Cultural Center In 1565, following the currents of the winds, Spanish galleons sailed across the Pacific Ocean from the port of Acapulco in Mexico to Manila in the Philippines in search of goods and spices, unaware of the everlasting cultural consequences that would bind us forever. - Maruca Salazar, Curator Unique Cultural Fusion “Tornaviaje/The Return Route” is an innovative and fascinating exhibit featuring artifacts from a period in history when colonial Pacific trade brought exotic Asian influences to the Americas via currents between Manila, Philippines and Acapulco, Mexico. The exhibit includes 21 educational panels in English and en Español. The panels are on loan from the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rare Historical Artifacts Alongside the 21 bilingual panels, will be the many pieces dating from the 16th -20th centuries, which demonstrate the fascinating fusion of cultures in a pivotal period of American history. Among them are Rebozos: a traditional Mexican shawl, not unlike a poncho, which has been traced to indigenous and Asian influences. Also featured is the legendary China Poblana garment, a style of dress that is said to emulate a fabled Hindu woman, captured by pirates at the age of 9 in the South Seas and sold into servitude in the mid-17th century.

  • March 2010 Talavera Pottery Instituto Allende Is Probably the Most
    March 2010 Talavera Pottery Instituto Allende is probably the most famous center for Arts Education in SMA. It was begun by a Peruvian artist in the late ‘30’s. It really expanded after WWII when GI’s discovered that they could come down here under the GI Bill and get a BFA degree while spending $5.00/month for rent. That influx of Americans put SMA on the map. A gringo named Stirling Dickinson expanded the Instituto. As a result he has a street named after him. Bellas Artes is another cultural center. It’s an old convent that’s been converted into an arts center. They offer courses in Pottery-Making, Painting, Drawing, Weaving, Sculpture, Music and Dance. Anzie signed up for a month-long weaving class. She plans to weave at least one Mexican-style patterned rug. We just completed a week-long tile painting class there last week. The two instructors flew in from the Corcoran Museum School in D.C. All of the paints are made from dry mineral-based pigments and water. We were very productive, as you can see from the attached photos. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot. The difference in colors before and after the kiln is amazing. Now that we know a lot more, we’d like to try it again. Last Thursday after our three-hour class our instructors drove over to the town of Dolores Hidalgo which is a center for pottery and tile making. We followed them, lost them, and finally found them again at this wonderful pottery shop.

  • Authentic Uriarte Talavera Tiles
    Authentic Uriarte Talavera Tile Mexican Traditions P.O. Box 67, Lambeth Station London, ON N6P 1P9 (519) 652-9787 www.mexitraditions.com About Mexican Talavera Talavera is the term used to describe faithful reproductions of the china and pottery that is made in the Spanish village of Talavera de la Reina, whose craftsmen have made tremendous contributions to the worlds knowledge of fine ceramics down through the centuries. Talavera pottery itself is a form of Majolica, which refers to all types of handmade enameled earthenware. It was first developed in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt and was further refined in China where it became very popular. The craft came into use in Spain by the thirteenth century, where its development was heavily influenced by centuries of Moorish domination. Within Mexico, this style dates back to the 16th century colonial era when it was first introduced to Mexico by Spanish guild artisans. Today, Mexican Talavera reflects the diverse cultural heritage inherited from the Orient, the Italian Renaissance, the Moors, Spain and the indigenous people of Mexico. In the making of Talavera, two types of clay are blended and left to soak in water to improve their quality and malleability. The potter then drains the water and filters the combined clays to remove all impurities, resulting in a loss of almost fifty percent (50%) of its original volume. The potter then works the clay by walking on it with his feet to remove all air bubbles and to give the clay a better uniformity and consistency. He then produces different pieces on a potter’s wheel or in molds, and lets them air dry for eight to twelve weeks.
