Angel Cerón crafts an impressive ceramic replica of an urn in the shape of the bat deity, attributed to the Zapotec people.The original sculpture was found in Monte Albán, Oaxaca. The deity's head is shaped like bat wings, its face features fierce fangs and it's human like body holds a shield and maze. Several pre-Hispanic cultures associated the bat deity with darkness and death, thus with the underworld.

Bought this fabulous bat deity for a friend, who had a bat visitor in her home. She absolutely loved it!

This is an unusual and striking piece. Love the historic significance of it, as well as his fierce countenance. Displays perfectly when back-lighted. I am proud to help support Angel Ceron.

Ive ordered several of these Codex pieces from Angel Ceron Artisan and they are beautiful works of art. Tezcatlipoca is amazing and I am lucky to have gotten one before they sold out. I have several others including Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl, etc. They are incredible and worth every penny. I can say that the packaging they come in is 100% secure and that I am always amazed at how professionally they are packaged and shipped. They come from Mexico and always come with a hand written note on a postcard from Palenque.
