In “The Pipil language of El Salvador”, Lyle Campbell defines the word “champe:ris” as “…a bejuco like chayote (güisquil)”. According to Simon Martin (2007) "...in many Maya languages the words for "fruit" and "face" are homonyms", thus a cacao pod could be used to represent a head, or at least a face in iconography. Oddly enough for the Mexica and other Nahua groups, cacao was used as a metaphor for heart. Similarly in colloquial Salvadorian and Honduran, cuchamper is used as a metaphor for heart, as seen in the example “me duele mi cuchamper”. So it isn’t farfetched to think that this meaning may have come from pre-Columbian sources or concepts. Please see Bilbao Monument 3 ( http://www.famsi.org/reports/96008/images/fig03.jpg) for a possible heart/face fruit being offered to a 'god' If so cuchamper may come from a Pipil word with the form “ku-champe:ris”. Where the ku- [head, tree, wood or stick] + champe:ris could have a possible meaning synonymous of “wooden champer/bejuco” or “head champer/bejuco”. Some suggestive evidence is found in the Popol Vuh, when Hun Hunahpú spat into the hand of a daughter of one of the lords of Xibalba and got her pregnant. The spit may be used as a euphemism for seminal fluid. This is important because cuchampers have a white latex-like liquid in them and this may appear as semen emerging from the fruit when punctured. My problem is the actual origins of the word “champe:ris”, is it Spanish or Pipil? Furthermore similar flora are “güisamper” which maybe from “wits-ampe:ris” meaning “Thorned-Something” and Siguamper which may come from a Pipil word in the form “siwamper” [siwa:(-t)-ampe:ris] meaning Female- Something”. The last three examples makes me wonder if the word “champe:ris” is a compounded word from ch-ampe:ris or ch(am)-ampe:ris? Any suggestions, leads, and critiques would be appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and effort in this matter, I hope to hear from you soon. -- *Fernando A.

Another interactive page related to Mexican art is already on-line, the mural painting Retablo de la Independencia created by Mexican artist Juan O´Gorman, here. More than 1,500 photographs of the 3 Mexica monumental sculptures allow appreciating the details of each element carved on the stone. These images are displayed in layers that overlap, helping users to capture colors and textures. A zenithal image of each piece is another feature at the site that gives a perspective that would be hard to reach in the museums of Templo Mayor and National of Anthropology to the naked eye. When one of the pieces is selected, information such as the year of creation, dimensions, date of finding and studies conducted on it displays. The button “Descripcion” shows information provided by specialists, who in 18 videos describe the importance of each piece. Specialists that contributed in this INAH effort are archaeologists Bertina Olmedo Vera, curator of the Mexica Hall at the National Museum of Anthropology; Fernando Carrizosa Monfort, chief of the Curatorial Department at Templo Mayor Museum, and Ximena Chavez Balderas, part of the Templo Mayor Project. Restorer Maria Barajas Rocha, chief of the Restoration Department at Templo Mayor Museum, also participated. At the Tlaltecuhtli section, users can learn about the symbolism that the monolith created between 1501 and 1521 had to Mexicas, as a terrestrial deity, as well as information of the associated offerings and the restoration processes conducted. Regarding the Sun Stone, also known as Aztec Calendar dated approximately in 1521, an iconographic analysis is available. The great amount of carvings illustrates fundamental concepts of Mexica world view. Finally, the image of the impressive lunar goddess Coyolxauhqui, carved between 1469 and 1481, offers an explanation of its finding, mythology, symbolism and relation with other feminine deities, as well as of the recovery of its color by restorers.

They were placed there between 1325-1521 CE. One of the stone figures is a skull shaped stone that was covered in stucco and painted. Another probably represents Coatlicue with jade symbols. There is also a snake's head with red ocher pigment on it and a sun symbol stone. Between 1486-1502, the sculptures were destroyed or "killed" before throwing them into a large pit covered with stone, earth, slabs of volcanic rock. INAH has the report here (in Spanish) with a good slide show of the stone objects. http://www.inah.gob.mx/index.php/boletines/14-hallazgos/4948-descubren-esculturas-que-adornaron-fachada-del-templo-mayor A tiny URL: http://goo.gl/2ebjV Mike Ruggeri Mike Ruggeri's Aztec and Toltec World http://tinyurl.com/yqypej _______________________________________________ Aztlan mailing list http://www.famsi.org/mailman/listinfo/aztlan Click here to post a message Aztlan at lists.famsi.org Click to view Calendar of Events http://research.famsi.org/events/events.php -- John F.

Regarding the Sun Stone, also known as Aztec Calendar dated approximately in 1521, an iconographic analysis is available. The great amount of carvings illustrates fundamental concepts of Mexica world view. Finally, the image of the impressive lunar goddess Coyolxauhqui, carved between 1469 and 1481, offers an explanation of its finding, mythology, symbolism and relation with other feminine deities, as well as of the recovery of its color by restorers.

They were placed there between 1325-1521 CE. One of the stone figures is a skull shaped stone that was covered in stucco and painted. Another probably represents Coatlicue with jade symbols. There is also a snake's head with red ocher pigment on it and a sun symbol stone. Between 1486-1502, the sculptures were destroyed or "killed" before throwing them into a large pit covered with stone, earth, slabs of volcanic rock. INAH has the report here (in Spanish) with a good slide show of the stone objects. http://www.inah.gob.mx/index.php/boletines/14-hallazgos/4948-descubren-esculturas-que-adornaron-fachada-del-templo-mayor A tiny URL: http://goo.gl/2ebjV Mike Ruggeri Mike Ruggeri's Aztec and Toltec World http://tinyurl.com/yqypej _______________________________________________ Aztlan mailing list http://www.famsi.org/mailman/listinfo/aztlan Click here to post a message Aztlan at lists.famsi.org Click to view Calendar of Events http://research.famsi.org/events/events.php -- John F.
