Details

Known as Aztecs, the Mexica people practiced ritual sacrifice. Death cult priests, dagger in hand, assisted the victims in their supernatural transformation into both god and governor who were transported to a space and time where all is calm and the cosmos is in perfect order. Drawing on a lifelong study of Mexico's pre-Hispanic cultures, artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association create a mask of their own design to represent this concept.

“Nice piece”

Maya with Chu Vessel is a really nice ceramic sculpture. It is not, however, signed by the artist. Instead, it has a generic MEXICO sticker plastered on the back. Additionally, there was not a certified story card included. The lack of those items gives the appearance of a mass-produced piece.

“Excellent Olmec Wrestler”

Highly skilled interpretation of Olmec Wrestler. Love it. Angel Ceron Artisan Association has some marvelous pieces. My son gave me another sculpture that I cherish as well. Buy with confidence. The packing job was extraordinary! Ive never seen anything like it! If youre worried about fragile ceramic pieces, dont be. Ive never seen such a professional packing job.
