A polychrome clay jaguar hand-modeled by the women artisans of Amatenango del Valle, Chiapas — a community whose ceramic tradition is as old as the Tzeltal Maya culture it belongs to. This jaguar is burnished with river stone before firing in an open-air kiln, a process that produces the characteristic warm, satin surface of Amatenango work. The polychrome painting that covers its body draws on a visual vocabulary of spots, stripes, and geometric forms that is entirely the community's own.
