It's not a sword, it's, for lack of a better point of refrence, an obsidian chainsaw. what it is, specifically, is a mace with several segments of obsidian across the ends to rend an opponents body as it is pulled across the body from the point of impact, causing severe trauma. Aztec weapons weren't meant so much to kill, but to maim and impair. The gods did require LIVING sacrifices, it didn't matter if they were already mortally wounded.
Emmm... O.Oll Rayos, los gringos no saben nada. XD
Until I know aztecs do not had coffee... the cocoa yes, this was very used, (chocolate) but I am not sure about what hell you presented here. Brazil and the natives of southamerica would used it, but aztecs... Amigo, investigate a little more.

Well if you want to get technical no coffee existed in the Americas until the 1720s (when it was brought over by Europeans), and I'm pretty sure it was never cultivated widely by any indigenous peoples of Central or South America. However, these days Central and South America are the largest coffee producers and exporters in the world. So clearly this jaguar fellow, with his gold-plated coffee cup, is not an interpretation of a historically accurate coffee fore-father, but a modern-day coffee drinker who just so happens to be dressed up in random Aztec garb to emphasize the Central American locational them. ;]
Yep, however, do not mix ancient aztecs with modern ideas... well sometimes it makes in me a strange effect of... you know, like saying "this never happened", is like if someone add a story about Mexico was the first in produce pop corns (and well exist a mith about it).
I dont know, sometimes I crash with the idea of "Wait, Aztecs are sacred, do not say stupid things about it".

I suppose you have a point, it is rather misleading to portray an Aztec jaguar enjoying some coffee when, while modern Mexico is well known for producing it, they did not have it at the time. We will make sure that our next mesoamerican themed artwork is more true to history and less fictional! Well, other then the anthro animal people part. ;D
Cool, I want to see more. Actually I am doing something similar with mesoamerican "furrys", first I am focusing in add some characters from the aztec calendar: Tochtli, Mazatl, Coatl, etc.

So I am very interested in this kind of works, so for a moment when I saw this one well like I said before, I crashed.
However, follow your idea of do something more historical, I really want to see something soon for know more about your viewpoint, compañero.

Actually this is a widespread historical misconception. According to the remaining fragments of the Saga of Thorhaerdalo the Explorer, a Viking document engraved in runic sextuplets on papyrus reeds and carbon-dated to the time of Lief Eriksson:
Tha waes in burgum leodcyning faeder,
In haedum poedditat geclaed, eorl an aecht,
An spraece aedel, haelocaps to straendum caeme,
Tha waege hie him, us wilcuman cuafen baed,
Dryncum bitre an donke gaeb, as us baeteldruncen maed.
Blodig haelden dagen waer, ere raefen to boersten caem.
"Dwelling in the city, the father of the High King,
Wearing the jaguar skin, in very truth a lord
And with the words of a lord, came down to the shore to in greeting,
His cup held high, urging us to drink in welcome,
A dark and bitter draught, that made us all hyperactive.
A day of blood and glory it was, to the crows a feast beyond bearing."
