Aztec Calendar - 500 Piece

Finished Puzzle Size: 19½ in. Round

The Aztec calendar actually consists of two calendars, one for a day count (tonalpohualli) and the other for a year count (xiuhpohualli). The xiuhpohualli was for agricultural purposes and told them the best time to plant their crops, while the tonalpohualli was the religious calendar and told them when to consult the Gods. This art is unique in the Dowdle collection in that it is our only round painting and puzzle.
