Aztec relics
Pre-Columbian Mexican treasures
Aztec relics are artifacts from the Aztec civilization, which dominated central Mexico from the 14th to 16th centuries until Spanish conquest.
These include stone carvings, pottery, jewelry, obsidian blades, and ceremonial objects.
The phrase often appears in adventure narratives and museum contexts: The expedition uncovered Aztec relics in a buried temple.
Priceless Aztec relics were returned to Mexico.
