EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from Mexico's rich history. The Pottery Rattle of a woman holding her child is an exquisite example of Aztec craftsmanship, dating back to the late Post-Classic Period between 1300 and 1520. This precious piece can be found at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, offering visitors a glimpse into Central American culture. The image beautifully captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of this ancient pottery rattle. The woman depicted represents motherhood, symbolizing the nurturing nature of Mexican women throughout history. With her child securely held in her arms, she embodies the timeless bond between mother and child. This artifact serves as a testament to the importance placed on family and childcare within Aztec society during that era. It provides valuable insight into their cultural values and parenting practices. As we admire this historic object, it reminds us of the enduring legacy left by our ancestors.
