This jaguar head is one-of-a-kind! History:Hand painted and signed by the talented artist, Humberto Lazaro Salvador, in Mexico. The artist, Humberto, is from Ahuehuepan, Guerrero, Mexico. Ahuehuepan is a small indigenous village in Mexico where Humberto learned his craft and love of painting from his grandfather, Luciano. By hand, Luciano carved this fierce jaguar (with his ears down and ready to pounce) from a single piece of natural Guamuchil wood. Humberto's style of painting is unique with his use of the traditional Nahuatl style flowers and Alebrije details along with a painting of a brilliant metallic gold Mexican mandala. Details:Humberto first painted the entire jaguar with matte black and added bright matte colors and shiny gold metallics. The natural grain of the wood adds texture and depth behind his painted details. This jaguar has bright eyes with orange in the center and bright turquoise Day of the Dead petals (eyelashes) around his eyes. Two large metallic gold flowers decorate his cheeks and a gold flower decorates the tip of his nose. Traditional Nahuatl green flowers add bright color to the sides of his head. His hand carved fangs are white, accented with black and he has a hand carved blood red tongue with red outlines on the inside of his mouth. Aztec black and metallic gold zig zags on his chin prove his ancient prowess feel. The bottom is hand signed by the artist, Humberto Lazaro Salvador. This is a very special piece of art and part of Humberto's jaguar series. Unique and one-of-a-kind.
