Overview
The sculpture is a vibrant, multi-layered wooden piece featuring a warrior's face encased within the open jaws of a mythological serpent-like creature. This style is deeply reminiscent of Mesoamerican (Maya or Aztec) iconography, where warriors often wore animal headdresses to channel the power of the beast.
- It comes in two main sizes: 23"x17"x8"; 20"x15"x8, or 15"x12"x7"
- This sculpture can stand firmly in a flat surface, or it can be hand on wall. It comes with a strong hook ready to be attached to a wall.
- 100% hand carved by an Artesano from Chiapas Mexico.
