Aztec Sun Stone (Calendar Stone) depicts five consecutive worlds of the sun from Aztec mythology.
Stone is not, therefore, in any sense a functioning calendar, but rather it is an elaborately carved solar disk, which for Aztecs and other Mesoamerican cultures represented rulership.
At the top of the stone is a date glyph (13 reed), which represents both beginning of the present sun, fifth and final one according to mythology, and the actual date 1427 CE, thereby legitimizing the rule of Itzcoatl (who took power in that year) and creating a bond between divine and mankind.
Stone was discovered in December 1790 CE in central plaza of Mexico City. It now resides in National Museum of Anthropology in that city.
The richly carved basalt stone was once a part of the architectural complex of Temple Mayor and measures 3.58m in diameter, is 98cm thick, and weighs 25 tons.
Stone would originally have been laid flat on the ground and possibly anointed with blood sacrifices.
When it was discovered, the stone was lying flat and upside down, perhaps in an attempt to prevent the final cataclysm — fall of fifth and final sun as Aztec world fell apart following the attack from Old World.
At the centre of the stone is a representation of either the sun god Tonatiuh (the Day Sun) or Yohualtonatiuh (the Night Sun) or the primordial earth monster Tlaltecuhtli, in the latter case representing the final destruction of the world when the fifth sun fell to earth.
The tongue is perhaps also a sacrificial knife and, sticking out, it suggests a thirst for blood and sacrifice.
Around the central face at four points are other four suns, which successively replaced each other after gods Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca struggled for control of the cosmos until the era of the fifth sun was reached.
The suns are known by the day name on which their final destruction occurred.
Beginning from the top right, there is the first sun Nahui Ocelotl (4 - Jaguar), top left is the second sun Nahui Ehécatl (4 - Wind), bottom left the third sun Nahui Quiáhuitl (4 - Rain), and bottom right is the fourth sun Nahui Atl (4 - Water).
On either side of the central face are two jaguar heads or paws, each clutching a heart, representing the terrestrial realm.
The band running immediately around the suns is segmented into the 20 Aztec day-names (hence Calendar Stone name).
Then there is a decorative ring surrounded by another ring depicting symbols, which represent turquoise and jade, symbols of the equinoxes and solstices, and the colours of the heavens.
Two heads at bottom centre represent fire serpents, and their bodies run around perimeter of the stone with each ending in a tail.
Four cardinal and the inter-cardinal directions are also indicated with larger and lesser points respectively.

Super excited to write in my work hours, my first overseas solo trip and other events!! Super eager to display each art work each month!
Thank you to all the artists who have taken their time to contribute to this calendar collab for us Stobotnik fans (I would tag them all, but I don't want to seem like a tag spammer)
