Featured Vintage Aztec Mayan Sterling Silver Pitcher/Jug

Vintage sterling silver pitcher/jug, folk art made in Mexico. I believe Aztec and not Mayan but I really don't know the difference. I am having a hard time with the hallmarks. I thought they might have said CARAW or something like that. I have searched all the silver hallmark sites and can't find this one. I know that Aquilar did work under Coro but I don't think this mark is close. I also thought I was seeing a crown but not like the Pineda mark. Any thoughts? Thank you for looking.

 

You're right. It is a take on the central part of the Aztec Calendar Stone.
I wouldn't call it folk art, which is more 'folksy'.

 

Found it in Hougart. Caral, a retailer in Mexico City.

 

I see it has a different design on the other side. Maybe Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec Sun and War God. Not sure though, could you take another photo? I know it is difficult with silver.
It is the side where the spout faces right.

 

Thank you so much!!!! I need to purchase some books when the websites fail me!

 

Thank you for looking. Is this better?

 

Much better, thanks. Yes it is probably Huitzilopochtli.

 

Thank you!!! Aztec it is!!!!

 

that's reasonably well done !!!!

 

Amazing!!! How lucky are we to have Any Jewelry?

 

It's all just the result of a misspent youth.

 

I thought it was clean living and fancy footwork

 

Fancy footwork, definitely. Not so sure about clean living.

 

I'm gobsmacked you can spell that, aj.

 

Over 40 yrs of training. I can pronounce it too.
