The Turtle

The design of this sculpture, made of zinc, brass and bronze against a wooden background, was inspired by Aztec mythology. According to the Aztecs, the Earth looked like a big tortoise, and different tribes lived on it. At the centre is the Leader, surrounded by various hieroglyphs typical of the Aztecs.
