Zapotecan Urn

$546

A seated Zapotecan deity or ruler, headdress centered on a feline or jaguar mask flanked by curling motifs — Zapotec imagery is distinct from the more commonly represented Aztec and Maya traditions elsewhere in D'Argenta's world-cultures line, drawing instead on Oaxaca's pre-Hispanic urn tradition.
