Noble Jaguar Handcrafted Ceramic Jaguar Warrior Mask Wall Art from Mexico

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Fierce and focused is the gaze of the Jaguar Warrior depicted in this ceramic mask handcrafted by the Angel Ceron Artisan Association of Mexico. Inspired by the images of these warriors from the 14th and 15th centuries found in Texcoco, the mask is a warrior's face beneath the sharp teeth of a jaguar. Above the jaguar head is an ornate headdress topped with a smaller open-mouthed jaguar and warrior face. The mask's details are hand painted in a myriad of earthy colors. A small loop at the top of the mask allows for it to easily be hung on a wall.

Maya Jaguar Priest Maya Jaguar Priest Plaque in Ceramic

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Wearing an ornate headdress with quetzal plumes, a Maya priest speaks, his words represented by speech glyphs. An oceotl or jaguar crowns the man, also speaking. The fierce spotted cat was thought to have sacred powers and, in the language of the Chol Maya, the name balam means both "jaguar" and "priest." The feline was believed to be the cause of both the lunar and solar eclipse, which resulted when the jaguar bit into the moon or the sun.

Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association work in yellow clay from Oaxaca, colored with mineral tints.
