Tribal Paper Legends

Tribal paper conjures up all the mysteries and myths of the Aztecs and Indian nations. The Aztecs believed in many gods, each God had a job to do; in the Aztec civilisation the sun god was responsible for crop success. The Aztecs thought that if the sun god wasn't happy their crops would fail. There is a vast array of tribal paper featuring the sun; it is a wonderful depiction of one of nature’s most important planets. Another pattern that depicts the Aztec tribes is that of an eagle perched on a cactus holding a snake in its mouth.

This pattern in all its forms and patterns is of great significance. The legend behind it is that one day a priest saw an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its mouth, he ran back to the camp to tell everybody what he had seen. This happened in the valley of Mexico, along the shores of Lake Texcoco. The Aztec people ran to the shores of Lake Texcoco to see the sight for themselves. As they watched the Sight before them the cactus grew into an island, they named the island ‘Tenochtitlan’ which means “the place of the prickly pear cactus “. So there you have it, the drama and legend of this time in history is captured in its many guises in the patterns and designs of tribal paper.
