Aztec Eagle (2/10, 1970s)

Aztec Eagle by Eduardo Aguilar is a bold and iconic linocut from the 1970s, depicting a profile view of an Aztec warrior adorned with an elaborate eagle headdress. Using striking black-and-white contrast, Aguilar captures the stoic power and symbolism of the eagle — a revered emblem of vision, strength, and nobility in Aztec culture.
Printed in a limited edition of only 10, this is number 2/10, signed by the artist and presented in a clean black frame that complements the piece’s graphic strength. The crisp feather detailing, angular composition, and deep cultural reference make this a standout work in both technique and narrative. This is a rare, vintage print that speaks to tradition through the lens of 20th-century Mexican printmaking.
