The Aztec Sun Stone or The Calendar Stone
Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages - A podcast by Kyle Wood
Categories:
The Sun Stone is probably the first bit of Aztec art I became familiar with even before I studied art. On its face, we see a beautiful image full of symbols laid out in radial symmetry that is just so visually satisfying, but as we look a little closer and get to know the symbols, this stone image is a lot deeper and heavier than I realized.
