About this item
The statue of goddes Chalchiuhtlicue, circa 1200-1521 CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Known as "She of the Jade Skirt," Chalchiuhtlicue, the Mexica goddess of water, flows through time in this exquisite sculpture, standing at a serene 10 cm (4 inches) tall. Alongside her, the essence of Chicomecoatl, the corn goddess, intertwines, creating a harmonious fusion of life-giving forces.
With arms gracefully outstretched, the statue seems to offer the promise of abundance, as if cradling the very essence of fertility and prosperity. The posture, reminiscent of Chicomecoatl’s iconic stance, whispers of an ancient world where corn was not just sustenance but a sacred gift from the gods. Though the small ears of archaic corn she once held are lost to time, the gesture remains, a timeless symbol of nature’s generosity.
Delicate traces of her past adornments linger—hollows where precious stones or shells once sparkled in her eyes, cheeks, and chest, casting an ethereal glow. These subtle imprints invite the imagination to wander, to envision the statue in its full splendor, radiating a mystical presence that once captivated devotees in sacred shrines.
The statue is made of plastic, processed and painted by hand in red and black colors close to original statue. This statue is meticulously crafted to stay true to its original form. This careful attention to authenticity ensures that the statue’s spiritual essence remains intact, bridging the gap between past and present.
This statue is more than an artifact; it is a portal to a world where water and earth converge, where the divine nurtures the mortal. Its serene yet commanding presence evokes a connection to the cycles of nature, to the life-giving waters and fertile soils that sustain us. A treasure of Mexica cosmology, it invites you to pause, to reflect, and to honor the timeless forces that shape our existence. Let it grace your space, a quiet yet profound reminder of the sacred interplay between humanity and the natural world.
