Details

Depicting a Mayan legend from ancient times, this ceramic mask from Mexico features hand-painted designs that are full of life. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association narrate the myth of the tortoise, which says that during the destruction of the world, the sun and the moon both fled beneath the shell of a tortoise, which saved their lives. In much of Maya imagery, the sun and the moon are often associated with the tortoise.

"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.
