Ancient Pre-Columbian Coyote Head from the Aztec Culture, Valley of Mexico, ca. 1350 - 1500 A.D. Highly-stylized head of a coyote in buff pottery (originally part of a much larger piece). Aztec art reflected its environment, religion and everyday life. The region was inhabited by foxes, owls, jaguars, fish, birds, hummingbirds, deer, rabbit and duck, and the Aztec domesticated turkeys and dogs. These animals often were an inspiration for their art and decoration. This carved coyote head demonstrates the skill of Aztec artists in combining realistic detail with artistic stylization. Custom mount. 9"L x 8"H x 5-3/4"D (including stand), choice condition and extremely rare!
