Wonderful addition to my art collection.
This is an unusual and striking piece. Love the historic significance of it, as well as his fierce countenance. Displays perfectly when back-lighted. I am proud to help support Angel Ceron.

Beautiful craftsmanship
This is a beautiful piece. As a licensed bat rehabilitator, I educate thousands of people each year, and use pieces like this to share information about how different cultures view bars. Thank you for this lovely addition to my collection!

Great addition to my collection of Maya, Aztec and Inca pottery! Certainly a "noticeable" piece. Weird, ugly and Fantastic!!
