Angel Cerón is inspired by the depiction of Tlácoc in the Ixtlilxóchitl Codex dating back to 1325-1519 AD. The powerful Aztec god of rain appears like a grand warrior holding a lightning rod and shield. His anthropomorphic presence includes a human body with a bird like visage and a grand headdress. According to this codex, Tláloc ruled over the Guinamenti, a civilization of giants who lived in the Anahuac Valley long before the Aztecs. Given his high merits as a ruler he was made a deity.

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.

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.
