Relics from TeKnoTitlán Museum: Tocih

The sculpture portrays Tocih, (from Nahuatl: Tocih 'our grandmother' 'to-, our; sihtli, grandmother') in a pose that conveys strength and nurturing. Symbolizes wisdom and beauty. She is 'The Grandmother of the Gods', goddess of temazcals, textiles and health. The obsidian's unique luster adds an ethereal quality to the sculpture, enhancing its spiritual significance. This artifact provides a poignant glimpse into Aztec beliefs, where motherhood was celebrated as a divine source of life and renewal.
