Mayan Jaguar Headdress Ceramic Wall Plaque

 

£40.00

ex. VAT

 

This ceramic wall plaque is full of Mayan mysticism and bold, hand-crafted character. A profile face is crowned by a spotted jaguar headdress and surrounded by swirling glyphs and symbolic forms — a piece that tells a story as much as it decorates a wall.

In Mayan culture, the jaguar was the most powerful of all animals — lord of the underworld, symbol of night, and embodiment of royal authority. Jaguar headdresses were worn by kings and shamans as a mark of divine connection and earthly power, making this plaque a direct link to one of the ancient world's most sophisticated civilisations.

Handmade in a small family workshop near Texcoco, Mexico, this piece supports local artisans and their communities. Siesta Crafts' commitment to Fair Trade principles ensures that these pieces are produced ethically, with respect for both the environment and the people involved in their creation. By choosing this piece, you're not only adding a beautiful work of art to your collection but also supporting sustainable craftsmanship
