Like many other pieces, the Aztec corn goddess came to Berlin through Alexander von Humboldt. She is wearing a cotton headband held by a large bow at the back of her head. She holds two corncobs in her left hand. The goddess was first published as Idole aztèque, en basalte in Humboldt's travelogue Vues des Cordillères in 1810. (A. Nicklisch 2003)
