Shield of Yanhuitlán

This pendant is an exact replica of the Chimalli of Yanhuitlán, a sacred Mixtec warrior shield discovered in the highlands of Oaxaca and preserved in Mexico’s National Museum of Anthropology. Crafted as a ceremonial war emblem, the original piece represents the Sun as a warrior, with its rays envisioned as turquoise serpents (Xiuhcóatl), the divine weapons of light.

Two intertwined grecas, one gold, one turquoise, symbolize the union of war, water, and the sun, linking fertility, death, and rebirth. At the center, a stepped fret motif is set against a bed of turquoise mosaic, framed by fine filigree spirals that resemble feathers. Four arrows cross the shield, representing the four cosmic directions, while eleven tubular bells hang below, evoking ritual sound and sacred resonance.

Handcrafted in 925 Sterling Silver, 24K Gold Plate, and Natural Turquoise.
