Flexing powerful muscles, a man strikes the pose of a wrestler. His head is shaved and his features are Asian, with a pronounced beard and moustache. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association depict a figure from the Olmec culture that dates from 100 to 100 B.C. Discovered in Santa Maria Uxpanapan near Minititlan, Veracruz, this beloved image is popularly known as the Olmec wrestler.

“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.

“OLMEC WRESTLER”

A very nice OLMEC Wrestler sculpture------Im very pleased to own it AND it is now my treasure--------- it is displayed proudly in my home office, for the world to see. I am a former wrestler for the University of Nebraska in the late 1950s so this sculpture has special meaning to me. Angel Ceron, certainly is a fine artist Marlen Luff

“Beautiful mask”

I was so sad to hear of Mr. Ceron s passing. I am also very sorry for this overdue review for his gorgeous artwork. I have bought several of his pieces, and I genuinely cherish all of them. I will continue to buy these most remarkable and highly valued pieces of art from his family of great artists and craftsmen.
