Handcrafted Ceramic Wild Cat Sculpture from Mexico, "Zapotec Jaguar"
Snarling a warning, a seated jaguar bares sharp fangs and emits a low growl. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association bring the figure to life in a handsome ceramic replica. The original clay vessel was discovered in Monte Alban where it guarded the entrance to the tombs. It comes from the classic period of Mexico's pre-Hispanic Zapotec civilization.
A bath of earth adds realism to this beautiful sculpture.

"I have wanted this for my kitchen forever!"





My kitchen is in Southwestern decor and this little gem fits right in-in fact he is the same color as my cupboard! I have him displayed on my range hood and he looks great there. Very well made and looks like an authentic artifact. I will feel safe with him guarding my family!
