Cast Bronze
79 × 71 × 80 cm
To the Maya and Aztec civilizations, the jaguar was the supreme ruler of the underworld and the animal form taken by the sun when it traveled through darkness each night — a being of immense sacred power that moved between the world of the living and the realm of death without fear. The two bronze jaguars here, rearing up to meet each other paw to paw, stage that mythic power not as solitary dominance but as dynamic encounter, the great cat's authority expressed through play and confrontation in equal measure.
