Legend tells how Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, created the human race. However, in doing so, he had to confront Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death. Inspired by this story, Angel Cerón creates an original mask that is faithful to Mexico's ancient books and archaeological record.

Angel Cerón presents a faithful replica of the Aztec calendar, known also as the "Sun Stone". Discovered in Mexico City, the original massive stone is on display in the National Museum of Anthropology and History. The Aztecs (or Mexica, as they called themselves) believed that the sun struggled daily against the forces of darkness. They aided the sun through human sacrifices.

Absolutely beautiful....the calendar is exactly as described and I can’t wait to hang it.. Ms. Winnipeg, MB. Fri Dec 11 2020

Wearing an ornate headdress with quetzal plumes, a Maya priest speaks, his words represented by speech glyphs. An oceotl or jaguar crowns the man, also speaking. The fierce spotted cat was thought to have sacred powers and, in the language of the Chol Maya, the name balam means both "jaguar" and "priest." The feline was believed to be the cause of both the lunar and solar eclipse, which resulted when the jaguar bit into the moon or the sun. Angel Ceron works in yellow clay from Oaxaca, colored with mineral tints.
