Aztec Jaguar Ceramic vessel

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

In 1901, a cat sculpture was discovered in the mansion of the Marquee of Apartado, just to the west of the principal temple of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association replicate the océlotl (ocelot or "little tiger"), associated with warriors. The original is thought to have received the hearts of sacrificial victims whose blood was necessary to feed the hungry sun.

Tezcatlipoca as a Jaguar Aztec Tezcatlipoca Jaguar Signed Ceramic Sculpture

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

The most important deity in the Aztec pantheon, Tezcatlipoca, or "Smoking Mirror," is also one of the oldest, first appearing during the pre-Mexica Teotihuacan era. He is the god of fertility, of the wind, of life, of maize and of agriculture, and is said to have taught humans how to measure time and create the calendar. He is considered the antagonist of Quetzalcoatl, yet in later accounts, Quetzalcoatl is described as the black Tezcatlipoca.

Working in polychrome ceramic, Angel Cerón depicts Tezcatlipoca as his nahual, or animal counterpart — a jaguar named Tepeyollotli.

Jaguar Warrior Aztec Museum Replica Ceramic Sculpture (Medium)

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

The brave jaguar warriors of 1325-1521 AD inspire artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association in the crafting of this sculpture. Only the sons of Mexica noble families were admitted into this exclusive army, regarded as soldiers of darkness. To obtain this title, they had to capture 12 prisoners. The artisans depict the warrior with his head turned sideways, as custom dictated to depict high ranking characters. Crafting the sculpture from ceramic with colorful feathers and an eagle headdress, the Mexican artisan portrays the courageous warrior with a shield and a macahuitl, a type of sword that was encrusted with sharp obsidian shards.

Amazing Sculpture

This sculpture is beyond anything I expected. The detailed workmanship is absolutely amazing. It arrived within a few days of my order, and I could see that great care had been taken in packing the sculpture to ensure that it arrived safely. The person that will receive this as a gift is very interested in Aztec mythology and history, and I'm very excited to give this to him.
