Cuauhtémoc Wetzka

MEXICO - Sacred Messenger Marigold

AVAILABLE IN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL SUBSTRATES 

Cuauhtémoc Wetzka's  Sacred Messenger celebrates the guajolote (wild turkey) in Nahua tradition. Drawing from indigenous symbolism where these birds represent abundance and spiritual connection, this pattern transforms the vigilant turkey into geometric forms honoring its protective presence. Through vibrant colors and balanced design, it embodies the bird's role as a guardian of prosperity.
