Description

This works represents the triumphant elevation of social and economic status. The figure is of a nagual rabbit of modest origins. Thanks to his glories in battle and to the offerings he has made to his rulers of rival warriors captured in battle, he has ascended to be a jaguar warrior, an elite fighter, a member of the highest level of the Mesoamerican military apparatus.
