Tortilleras

Mighty gods, supernatural creatures, ancient legends... Do you know what else played a central part in Aztec mythology?

Corn.

That's right, corn was the most important staple at that time, the most precious gift the gods gifted their children with, the fundamental crop which shaped all the societies developing in ancient Mexico.

No one knows who was the first tortilla maker, but certainly, tortilleras are such important figures, we absolutely had to include them in Mictlan.

As references, we used images of the goddess Chicomecoatl, also taking into consideration the ritual decorations that tortilleras wear in Otomi festivities, from the Tlaxcala region.

Take a look!
