Jaguar Head Handcrafted Mexican Ceramic Jaguar Mask

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(257)

The tigrillo or oceotl was known and revered as the jaguar in pre-Hispanic Mexico. "The ancient ones considered these cats gods, symbols of power and government, related with the night and the other worlds," say artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association. They depict the feline as a handcrafted mask of their own design.

Maya Jaguar Priest Maya Jaguar Priest Plaque in Ceramic

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(257)

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, coloured with mineral tints.

Tezcatlipoca as a Jaguar Aztec Tezcatlipoca Jaguar Signed Ceramic Sculpture

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(257)

The most important deity in the Aztec pantheon, Tezcatlipoca, or "Smoking Mirror," is also one of the oldest, first appearing during the pre-Mexica Teotihuacan era. He is the god of fertility, of the wind, of life, of maize and of agriculture, and is said to have taught humans how to measure time and create the calendar. He is considered the antagonist of Quetzalcoatl, yet in later accounts, Quetzalcoatl is described as the black Tezcatlipoca.

Working in polychrome ceramic, Angel Cerón depicts Tezcatlipoca as his nahual, or animal counterpart — a jaguar named Tepeyollotli.

Amazing Sculpture

This sculpture is beyond anything I expected. The detailed workmanship is absolutely amazing. It arrived within a few days of my order, and I could see that great care had been taken in packing the sculpture to ensure that it arrived safely. The person that will receive this as a gift is very interested in Aztec mythology and history, and I'm very excited to give this to him.
