This delightful miniature repro of a Mayan or Aztec style ceremonial jug has been reproduced with a brass collar that allows for use as a candle holder. Featuring what appears to be a priest or god wearing a mask or helmet of eagle and monkey. Wonderfully detailed form an eye catching addition to desk or shelf. I would say it has Northwest tribal styles but the Monkey moves it further South.
5" x 4 1/2" x 2" tall.
