"Wonderful addition to my art collection."

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.

"Beautiful craftsmanship"

This is a beautiful piece. As a licensed bat rehabilitator, I educate thousands of people each year, and use pieces like this to share information about how different cultures view bars. Thank you for this lovely addition to my collection!

"Good"

Good. But I think the colour is a bit different from what one can see at the pictures.

"Wonderful dogs!"

I absolutely love these dog ornaments. Such a wonderful reminder of ancient Mexico, and such joyful depictions of dog joy! I want to display them all the time, not just on a holiday tree! Beautifully made.
