EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art and craft from the Toltec civilization in Mexico. The mother-of-pearl mosaic figure, dating back to the 10th-12th century, depicts a powerful coyote holding a warrior's head firmly in its jaws. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship are evident in this vertical sculpture. Set against a striking blue background, the single object takes center stage, demanding attention with its symbolic representation of strength and valor. This figurine serves as an intriguing testament to the rich history of Latin American civilizations. The image captures the essence of an ancient world where warriors roamed and animals held deep significance. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the artistic prowess that flourished during this era. Displayed here is not just an antiquity but also a story waiting to be unraveled.
