Description
A caribbean conch shell transformed into an aztec ceremonial trumpet called an atecocoli in Nahuatl. The instrument had sacred and ancient associations - with the sea, with the call to prayer, with the underworld, with the moon, with fertility, with the wind god Ehcatl, who had the power to blow life into a void, just as the blower blows life into the shell that would otherwise remain lifeless for ever. Its haunting sound harked back to the primordial blast of the world produced in the underworld by Quetzalcatl heralding the creation of humankind. The atecocoli is also blown during the solstice to herald in the new cycle of light overpowering the dark energies.
