Tooled Metal Aztec Sun Stones

Our art this week is inspired by the Aztec 'Sun Stone', housed in the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City. It measures 3.6 meters in diameter and weighs 24 tons!
The stone is thought to depict the Mayan calendar, with the figure in the middle representing Tonatiuh the Sun God.

For this project we've created radiating patterns on layered colour paper around our central tooled foil 'Sun Gods' and 'Sun Goddesses'.
