A divine force takes the form of a jaguar and devours a heart in a breathtaking scene inspired by an ancient Maya carving with Toltec influences. This captivating image was seen as a representation of power by Mesoamerican civilizations, often relating the nature of the feline with supernatural strength and magical abilities.

The Ruiz Bazan Family, heir of the ancient Zapotec textile techniques, is fascinated by this captivating depiction and handlooms a precious wool area rug featuring the sacred figure, all using natural dyes that enhance the beauty of their heritage.
