‘Aztec’ ring
Dave Meyer writes: I bought this ring in Mexico many years ago, and was told the symbols on it are Aztec. I have no idea what they mean, nor can I find anything like them on the internet. I am hoping you may be able to tell me what they are and their meaning?
Thank you.

That flower with 4 petals represents the 4 directions in the universe: East, South, West and North. It is not an aztec simbol, but the emblem of Teotihuacan, an ancient culture who lived in Mexico several years before the aztecs!!!

Could it have more of an mexica influence? Im not aware of much more than it looks like a river scene... maybe would help to check for art dealers in older trade ports.
Good luck. Its pretty.

Your typical tourist sourveneir. The main image is a frog and the two things besides it are flowers.
