tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 12/06/2007 4:26 pm I don't think it is either. It looks like it is made of ceramic or clay of some kind. You searched (what) on google? Tony Report this Post to the Staff
Mila_cent Pillar of the Community United States 1767 Posts	Posted 12/06/2007 4:40 pm Tony, I was searching for holiday images (actually New Year's) and saw this as one of the pics in the listing. Don't know why this would be included with any holiday pics. mila_ Edited by Mila_cent 12/06/2007 4:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 12/06/2007 5:05 pm That's the Aztec Sun Stone, a unique pre-Columbian artifact found in Mexico. It would have come up in your search because it is often called a "calendar stone". You can't "have one" - it's unique. But you can have an image of it - on Mexican banknotes, and probably coins. I have a Mexican 1 peso note with this image. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

Edward J New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 01/21/2008 7:48 pm Aztec Calendar Medal. I have a few of these I picked up when I traveled the coin shows in the early 1970's. One in an antiqued bronze and a couple more in aluminum. Mine are 3 inches in diameter. The Aluminum ones have a mirrored field area. I know that then I didn't pay a lot for them but they are interesting. I also have one in a golden bronze that is mounted on a neck chain. Report this Post to the Staff
