Reproduction of Aztec Sun Stone calendar in crushed malachite and resin with red velvet backing

The Aztec Sun Stone, also known as the Calendar Stone, is one of the most iconic symbols of Mesoamerican civilization, originally carved in the late 15th century. This decorative reproduction became popular as tourist souvenirs and wall art during the 1960s-1980s, typically manufactured in Mexico using crushed stone mixed with resin and mounted on octagonal wooden frames with velvet backing. These vintage reproductions appeal to collectors of Mexican folk art, mid-century tourist memorabilia, and those interested in pre-Columbian cultural artifacts. The combination of the striking Aztec iconography with the vibrant materials and craftsmanship makes these pieces sought after by vintage decor enthusiasts and collectors of Mexicana, particularly examples in good condition with intact stone surfaces and original velvet backing.
