Death Whistles by Itzcoehua

Death Whistles were traditionally believed to help souls reach the afterlife and, many say, to terrify enemies on the battlefield. Today, these artifacts not only serve as collectible pieces of Aztec culture, but they also celebrate and embody the Aztec values of joy, vitality, and life. The Itzcoehua family is proud to share their Aztec art and culture with the world. Rafael, an indigenous Aztec artist, began rediscovering his ancestral roots in response to the poverty and violence in his country. He uses art as a pathway to spirituality and connection.
