Blood Jaguar

A jaguar priestess draws a thorn studded rope through a piercing in her lip to draw blood to appease the gods. The blood spatters onto slips of paper with the names of the mayan lords seeking the gods favor.\r\n\r\nThe design of "Blood Jaguar" is inspired by a 8th century stone carving of Lady Xoc making a similar sacrificial offering. The colors of her outfit are based on temple paintings from a similar period.\r\n\r\nBlood Jaguar is 8" (20CM) tall at top of headdress and roughly 6" (15CM) across the horizontal axis. Sculpted in ApoxieSculpt (a synthetic clay) and painted in acrylic.

Breath of Dreams

Kitsune Netsuke- as pendant

Netsuke are tiny decorative carvings and sculptures used to secure the cords on traditional Japanese outfits.
