Mayan Jaguar God Mask

This handcrafted Mayan mask depicts a jaguar warrior — one of the most iconic and revered figures in ancient Mesoamerican culture. In Mayan and Aztec traditions, the jaguar represents strength, courage, and spiritual power. Jaguar warriors were an elite class of Aztec fighters known for their bravery and skill, often chosen for their prowess in battle and their ability to capture enemies alive for ritual purposes. These masks draw on the rich symbolism of pre-Hispanic artwork and are ideal for collectors, spiritual spaces, or anyone with a love of Mexican folk art.

Each piece is carefully shaped and painted by hand using traditional barro ceramic techniques — a time-honoured method of working with natural clay that dates back centuries. The bold features and intricate designs capture the fierce and mystical essence of the jaguar, making this a striking and meaningful addition to any home décor, altar, or wall display.

These masks are crafted in a small, family-run workshop in Texcoco, a culturally rich town near Mexico City known for its artisanal heritage. By purchasing this piece, you're supporting independent Mexican makers and helping to preserve traditional craft skills for future generations.
