DESIGNS FROM PRE-COLUMBIAN MEXICO (ENCISO)

A source of 300 original motifs created by the Aztecs, Toltecs, Totonacs, and others. Found on malacates, small clay spindle weights or whorls made by the pre-Conquest peoples of Mexico and discovered in archeological digs. Rendered in sharp black-and-white, the designs may be reproduced, enlarged, reduced, or altered at will. The designs were selected by Jorge Enciso, an outstanding figure in the cultural life of Mexico, from malacates in the archeological museums of Mexico City, Teotihuacán, and Tuxtla Gutiérrez, and the collections of Diego Rivera, William Spratling, Roberto Montenegro, and others.
