Tribal Aztec Bedding
The Aztecs were a unique civilization and are honored for their undeniable patterns as seen here on this modern bedding depicting stylish geometric designs inspired by the stars, sun, and glamorous universe.
Ancient cultures often looked to the sky for ideas to bring art into their daily vision in the style of geometrics the language of the cosmos and mathematical equations. Beautiful and unique shapes dominate the Aztec legacy creating layouts of repetitive patterns that continue to appeal from the 13th century when the Aztecs arrived in Mexico and built temples for worship and sacrifice.
‘The sun and war god was their main deities but there were other gods and goddesses they revered including the god of rain – agriculture – fortune and destiny – fertility and art – the hunt and stars plus the goddess of water’
Our memories of these fearless hunters and creative artists are reflected in their unique and eye-catching emblems inspired to decorate ceramics molded from the earth and sculptures depicting their allegiance to the gods on show in their pyramid-shaped temples. The Aztecs were innovative as they invented a calendar to appease a sun god they believed required constant gifting in the form of sacrifice. The Aztecs were convinced the sun would stop shining and all would be dark if they did not continually give to this Astro icon.
‘Old tribes often had this vision of a superpower that would be angry enough to take away a universal orb’
Subsequently, they built their religious beliefs around appeasement to elements seen in the sky from Earth. Not a lot has changed when we consider religion offers a semblance of fear if one does not follow the doctrine of faith laid out in books revered as gospel. The concept of hell hovers over our daily lives reminding us to be righteous and the consequence of eternity in a fiery pit. Whatever you believe plays a massive part in your conscious choices and actions. So you see we are not so different from ancient cultures like the Aztecs who feared the wrath of their Gods and subsequently in their primitive ideals found ways to alleviate unseen celestial beings. The legacy of this powerhouse tribe is also reflected in their unique vision of agriculture as floating gardens they built on an island home in the middle of a lake plus their unique hieroglyphic writing and edgy patterns we so love today as decor, bedding, and wall coverings.
‘The infamous Art Deco designs prominent in 1920s Parisian architecture were influenced by Egyptian and Aztec geometric themes still popular for their familiar appeal in a world dominated by rectangular and triangle shapes’
Our eyes, hearts, and minds are immediately drawn to what we know and how it makes us feel. Science, art, and the ancients have all played a universal part in how we conceive imagery and why the geometric motif is steeped in our history and consciousness. The trend-setting Aztec patterns are highly fashionable in clothing and home decor where they strike a showstopping pose visually and emotively. Their tribal magnetism is celebrated for its legendary look which offers a head-turning vibe when worn or presented as bedding in various colors or primal black and white. This comprehensive king-size comforter is super stylish with a brown earthy appeal. It is ready to set an expressive tone of peace and tranquility in your master or guest bedroom while paying homage to the infamous and artistic Aztecs.
