AMATES
In the ancient Aztec World, there were a lot of trees called Amates,
these special trees have a peculiar wood inside that the Aztec discover
that could take very thin layers of them and that was easy to color and
write gerogrifics, that was the way that the Aztecs communicated with
themselves and to the world.
By means of this amates that were left behind and by the use of good
interpreters is that we can know how the Aztec used to think, interpret
their own lives, know about the environment that they used to live in and
more.
Now a days the artisans continue using them placing there majestic art
in beautiful colors using their imagination and symphony of colors to
project to the world their art as well as they also use the Aztec symbols
to express the Aztec and the Mayan art as well.
