EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Mirror with Jaguar or Coyote Mosaic, dating back to the 6th or 7th century. The creator of this extraordinary piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The mirror's circular shape and close-up perspective allow us to appreciate the intricate details of its design. The mosaic is composed of various materials such as iron pyrite, jade shell magnatite or ilmenite, spondylus shell, and fool's gold - all meticulously inlaid into the metal frame. This amalgamation of minerals creates a stunning color palette ranging from shades of beige to vibrant greens. The central motif features either a majestic jaguar or coyote; their feline presence exudes power and grace. This artwork belongs to the Mesoamerican tradition and reflects the rich artistic heritage of Mexico. As we gaze upon this mirror, we are transported back in time to ancient Teotihuacan, where it was likely crafted. Its decorative elements not only serve aesthetic purposes but also hold cultural significance within Pre-Columbian societies. Now housed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Americas collection, this artifact stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to captivate our imagination while connecting us with our pasts.
