Senses Myths – Teocuitlatl

Description

This artwork is part of the Senses Myth Series that depicts myths from round the world with similar symbolism and combines them with one of the 6 senses.

Teocuitlatl is a Nahuatl word meaning “excrement of the gods”, a poetic term used by the Aztecs to describe gold. Far from being a vulgar phrase, it reflects the belief that gold was both divine and earthly—beautiful yet spiritually dangerous if misused. To the Aztecs, Teocuitlatl symbolised the gods’ creative excess, a sacred material to be respected, not hoarded.
