Stones of Tizocic and Motecuhzoma I / Axayacatl

[David Wright]

Howdy, Gordon:

The best photos I've seen are here:

MATOS Moctezuma, Eduardo; Felipe SOLÍS. El Calendario azteca y otros
monumentos solares (1a. ed.) Instituto Nacional de Antropología e
Historia/Grupo Azabache. México, 2004.

They have a good enough resolution to study the toponymical signs, among
other details, in both cases. For closeups of a few signs taken from
different angles that will help solve some doubts, see:

GUTIÉRREZ Solana Rickards, Nelly. Objetos ceremoniales en piedra de la
cultura mexica (1a. ed.) Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, Universidad
Nacional Autónoma de México. México, 1983.

Saludos,

David

Asunto: [Nahuat-l] Stones of Tizocic and Motecuhzoma I / Axayacatl

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has -- or can point me in the direction of --
good-quality photos of the panels encircling the so-called Stones of Tizoc
(Tizocic) and Motecuhzoma I (or Axayacatl)? I am doing a comparative study
of Aztec monuments and would dearly love to be able to examine both of
these temalacatl a little more closely than I have been able up to now.

I would be very grateful if someone can provide me with close-up photos of
all sections of these monuments. I would, of course, not publish any
without permission (and acknowledgement).

Best wishes,
Gordon
