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.

"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.

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.
