Tlaloc God of Rain Fair Trade Mexican Archaeological Ceramic Sculpture (Pair)

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Angel Cerón honors Tlaloc, god of earthly waters and fertility, with a pair of handcrafted ceramic statuettes. The people from the Teotihuacán culture believed him to be responsible for drought as well as for floods. This belief spread throughout Mexico, reaching the Maya who referred to him as Chaac, and from there to Central American cultures. The statuettes bear a slightly yellow undertone due to the clay used.

Batter Catrin Clay Skeleton Baseball Player Sculpture

Jorge Escamilla

(2)

Poised to swing, a skeletal batter takes the plate. Jorge Escamilla in Mexico creates this delightful sculpture, which is formed from clay and carefully painted by hand. He takes inspiration from José Guadalupe Posada's famous etching of 'La Calavera Catrina'.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

Ceramic plaque, 'Small Beige Aztec Calendar' - Ceramic plaque

Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association recreate the elaborate stone sculpture known as the "Aztec Calendar" or "Sun Stone." Discovered in Mexico City, the original massive stone is on display in the National Museum of Anthropology and History. The Aztecs (or Mexica, as they called themselves) believed that the sun struggled daily against the forces of darkness. They aided the sun through human sacrifices. This beautiful replica is sculpted in clay and given a crackled antique effect. Features a loop for hanging.
