As it is, applying the same aesthetic judgments as i do to the reliefs of Donatello and Ghiberti, i find them pretty feeble stuff, and the only thing that astonishes me is that they are as intricate and refined as they are, for the Aztecs, having no hard metals, worked on hard stone with tools of harder stone.
