Endowed with the power to observe what others cannot, the Mexica or Aztec shaman served as a sort bridge between both worlds — the physical world and the world of the spirit. Thus he developed the ability to cure illness of mind, heart and body. Working in ceramic, artisans from the Angel Ceron Artisan Association create an imaginary shaman in the ancient Mexica style. He wears a headdress and holds a skull, as he can envision the afterlife. On his shoulder, a large owl perches. Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec god of death was often depicted with an owl.

I have several Angel sculptures, and love every single one of them. This one is so detailed, amazing.

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.
