Explore the serene beauty of ‘Seated Female Deity’ by Aztec Art – a captivating basalt sculpture from the Postclassic period (c.900-1580 CE) housed at The Met, symbolizing divine wisdom and fertility.
This stone kneeling figure represents Chalchiuhtlicue, the Mexica water goddess. She embodies fertility and purity, symbolized by her turquoise shawl (*quechquemitl*) and tassels adorning her head—a testament to Aztec artistic skill and cosmological beliefs.
