"La virgula"
Price in Mexican pesos(MXN)
A small being from which thin rods (the virgula of the word) are displayed that float towards a distant astro.
In pre-Hispanic codices, the virgula of the word represented the language, the songs and rituals that our ancestors performed to communicate with each other, with the stars-nature, deities and the afterlife.
Frangment of a song to the flowers
by Nezahualcóyotl
Ica xonahuiyacan ihuinti xochitli,
take mani, aya.
Ma on you already aquiloto
xochicozquitl.
In toquiappancaxochiuh,
tla celia xochitl,
cueponiaxochitli.
Translation Miguel León-Portilla
Rejoice with the flowers that intoxicate,
those that are in our hands.
Let them be already
the flower necklaces.
Our rainy weather flowers
fragrant flowers,
they open their corollas.
