The Aztec god of poetry, music, dance, and mischief: Huehuecoyotl, the "Old Coyote", enters the pantheon of Mictlan's gods.
This very unique-looking god is usually represented wearing garments made of "olive" shells and copper bells on arms and legs, which are associated with wind and music. He also has golden beads that fall from his hand as pictured in Codex Borgia.
In Aztec culture, coyotes were a symbol of cunning and worldly wisdom, Huehuecoyotl is also associated with worldly desires and unbridled sexuality: he is one of those gods considered as a combination between good and evil.
Alex Loera is the talented artist in our team who designed these versions of Huehuecoyotl.
