To either side of him stand a man and a woman, who worship before his mysteries. His flayed skin is a sign of his own sacrifice, but it is also an image of the sacrifice of the corn. When an ear of corn is prepared to be eaten, its husk is ripped off, like the skin of Xipe Totec
This is a devotional image of Xipe Totec, “The Flayed Lord,” also translated as “The Bearer of the Skin.” He is the Lord of Spring, a manifestation of corn, and the patron of gold and silversmiths. He is a manifestation of Tlaltauhqui Tezcatlipoca, The Red Tezcatlipoca
The teyollia can take the form of a butterfly or a precious-feathered bird
Tonatiuh is Our Father the Sun, the Celestial Lord who gives solidity, warmth and life to the world. Every night He must travel through the dangers of the Underworld to gloriously rise again in the East.
You can find prints of Tonatiuh in my Etsy store!
