aztec blanket

Less of a simple blanket and more a powerful symbol, Aztec blankets are steeped in history - with an immense focus on the culture preserved throughout many centuries. Created by using an intricate design, bold colors and traditional methods, these blankets give a look of the interesting past associated with Aztec culture.

The Story of Aztec Blankets

The Aztecs - an ancient civilization that emerged and settled mainly in the Valley of Mexico, where their capital city was located over centuries (14th-16th AD) had a coveted legacy for creating fine art through sumptuous handicrafts such as ceramics, jewelry as well weaving stunning textiles like blankets famously known as TheAztec Blanket.

In the Aztec tradition, people used to wear garments made of woolen or a variety that we now call finaled because women had already learned how to make textiles thousands of years prior. They also slept covered with nards but many times they were burned as offerings for their gods. Crafted with meticulous detail and vibrant coloration, those were no mere coverings but fashioned cloths rich in symbol each.

Aztec Blankets - A Cultural Gem with a Mesmerizing Palette and Detail

Replete with intense reds, bright yellows, deep blues and lush greens - a virtual rainbow of colours grazing the eye only to be wowed by another brilliant new weave. The intricate designs on these cloths represent elements of Aztec life, from the deities and nature to scenes of daily life.

The ever-so-popular diamond design is just one of the revered designs on an Aztec blanket, and others have a deeper meaning such as representing the sun or cardinal directions. Other designs incorporate images of respected animals like eagles and jaguars as well figures including warriors and priests that held great cultural weight.
