Trained in warfare as well as in mystical arts, a jaguar warrior plays the sacred huehuetl drum in a sculpture by Angel Cerón. This highly detailed replica is inspired by an original drum found in Malinalco, where warriors trained in spirituality, and attributed to the Aztec-Mixtec era of 1321-1521 AD. Carved from a hollowed-out tree trunk, the original huehuetl is decorated with unique iconography that has yet to be deciphered satisfactorily. The beat of the drum is believed by some to convey a message: "We are all one, and one is everyone."

Very well done, fits in nicely with all other pieces of my Inca, Maya and Aztec collection that I have accumulated during my travels in Latin America.
