Framed Aluminum Repousse Eagle Warrior Alcohol Painting, "Cacaxtla Eagle Knight"
Uniformed in jaguar skins, an imposing eagle head helmet and talon-like sandals, this noble knight was one of the highest ranking warriors in Tlaxcala. Artists from the Flores Family Workshop depict an Eagle Knight as seen in the pre-Hispanic archaeological site of Cacaxtla. Much like the Aztec Jaguar Knight, both these elite fighting men were contemporaries but the tlaxcatecos joined Hernan Cortes in his battle against the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan in July of 1520.
The artists work in alcohol ink over an aluminum repoussé panel, which arrives framed.
Titled "Guerrero Tlaxcala" in Spanish.
