The Aztec god of death, known as Mictlantecuhtli, held a prominent place in the ancient Mesoamerican pantheon. As the ruler of Mictlan, the underworld, Mictlantecuhtli played a crucial role in the Aztec understanding of the afterlife and the cycle of life and death. This deity was often portrayed as a fearsome figure, embodying the inevitability and mystery of death. Now, 2 oz Aztec God of Death Silver Stackers are available from JM Bullion.
Stacker Highlights:
In the design of the 2 oz Aztec God of Death Silver Stacker, you’ll find the image of Mictlantecuhtli. Mictlantecuhtli’s appearance was designed to evoke fear and awe among the Aztec people. He was typically depicted as a skeletal figure, with a skull-like head and exposed bones. His mouth was often shown wide open, symbolizing his insatiable hunger for the dead. In some representations, Mictlantecuhtli wore garments adorned with owls, spiders, or human bones, further emphasizing his connection to death and the underworld.
One of the most striking features of Mictlantecuhtli’s imagery was his hair, which was often portrayed as made of paper streamers, known as “aztaxelli.” These paper decorations were significant in Aztec funerary rituals and were believed to help guide the souls of the dead to Mictlan. Additionally, the god was sometimes depicted with liver spots or a necklace of human eyeballs, underscoring his grotesque and terrifying nature. Despite his fearsome appearance, Mictlantecuhtli was not considered entirely malevolent but rather a necessary force in the cosmic balance of life and death.
These 2 oz Aztec God of Death Silver Stackers are available with custom-shaped capsules and an antique polish, allowing you to handle the stacker without tarnishing the silver. The design of the Aztec God of Death Stacker is concave on one side and convex on the other, allowing any two stackers to fit together snuggly when stacked.
