Comandante (Rooster Nagual)

Description

The rooster is one of the animals that was brought by the Spanish to Mesoamerica. This Iberian commander is represented as a rooster, fit to control and direct the Spanish warriors and allied villages to battle; it was certainly not a simple task and one that required command and leadership to bring order to the battle.
