The Aztecs had numerous crafts at which they excelled. Their expertise sometimes dazzled the Spanish. Their crafts included papermaking (not just for books but for festive banners and ornaments), book illustration which they called "the black and the red" (colorfully illuminating their codexes); feather work (used in headresses, ornaments and trimmings on cloth and shields), plant fibre (e.g. maguey sandles and ropes), wooden sculpture, mural painting, flower weaving (creating foilage ornaments including entire carpets of flowers - still practiced in Mayan areas), basketry/ wickerwork, pottery, Metallurgy (gold, silver, copper, bronze), stone including precious stones such as jade and crystal. They also fashioned brightly coloured cloth, and items from rubber and other resins.
