    It is a modern rendition of the Aztec Sun Stone or Calendar Stone which is in the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City.

    It is a popular image, especially with the New Age crowd, who will also love this 'tribal' look on leather.

    Yes, a little souvenir. Writing in Spanish says:

    Calendario Azteca
    Museo Nacional de Antrolopogía
    e
    Historia de cd [stet] Mexico

    or

    Aztec Calendar
    National Museum of Anthropology
    and
    History of cd [stet] Mexico.

    Wow it’s so spectacular! I never realized the scope of “the” stone. I’ve seen a million interpretations but this may be the first time I really looked at the original. Thanks

    Yes, I thought it would be nice to post a photo with people in it, so the scale is apparent. It is an impressive stone, and an impressive Aztec masterpiece.
