$84.00
SKU: 261657
A hand-crafted anthropomorphic bat snarls viciously as it bares its sharp teeth and sticks out its tongue. One of the many deities in the Central American religious pantheon and a symbol of darkness and death, this deity was believed to accompany the dead on their journey to the underworld. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association bring us this impressive and awe-inspiring museum replica of a Zapotec ceramic funerary urn that dates back over 2000 years.

Huge fan of Angel's work
My father collects all of Angel Ceron's work. He has several urns and some masks. He didn't have this bat urn so I got it for him for Christmas. He was thrilled. He really appreciates the fine detail in Angel's pieces.
