Maya Governor of Uaxactun Original Signed Ceramic Sculpture of Antique Maya Governor

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association create this original sculpture, their vision of how a governor from Uaxactun (Guatemala) would look like. The artisans are inspired by recent findings that suggest there could have been violent wars between the ancient Mayas. This character wears a tall hat where birds seem to nest. The governor holds a jaguar's fang in one hand, and a mace in the other to portray him as victorious. His breastplate seems to honor Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent.

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.
