    Aztec Water Dog rubbing
    Hello - I'm trying to find out more about an Aztec rubbing (framed about 24"x24") and its value. It's numbered but there's no signature. It's the Aztec Water dog. Anyone have any thoughts? Mary

    I have one of these also. Mine was from an uncle who lived in Mexico City during the 1940's and early 50's so I'm sure it is very old but appears from a print expert that it is not valuable. Have you been able to find any value or anyone interested in the rubbing?

    Hi there - thanks for your information. I actually found an online auction sight that recently sold one for a mere $12.00! Ironically, mine is also from an uncle. I've decided to keep mine rather than try to sell it.

    I don't want to keep this one. The history behind the Mexican water dog is so violent and I always thought the picture looked like a very ugly worm. Could you share the online auction sight? I'll check Ebay but I have looked on there. I hate to put it in the trash but I don't want it.
