Habsburg-Oaxacan Double headed Eagle Mezquite Mirror

The mirror is a deliberate allusion to the double-headed eagle, a common symbol in textiles and feather weaving from pre-colonial times to present day, especially in the Oaxaca region. This two-headed bird represents both a pre-Hispanic narrative of danger and dominance, and a symbol of European authority. Regardless, it remains a revered emblem of protection and heraldry throughout history.
