Handmade Clay Mayan Jaguar Sculpture – Medium

Handmade in Amatenango del Valle, Chiapas, this medium clay jaguar sculpture is crafted using traditional Mayan pottery techniques. Each jaguar figurine is shaped, polished, and hand-painted with natural clay tones, highlighting the expressive style of Mexican folk art.

In Maya culture, the jaguar symbolizes strength, protection, and transformation. This artisan-made piece reflects that heritage through detailed hand-painting and the organic texture created by ocote-wood outdoor firing, a signature method of Chiapas pottery.

Perfect for boho, rustic, or cultural home decor, this ceramic jaguar adds a meaningful accent to shelves, consoles, or living spaces. Every sculpture is one of a kind, with slight variations in form and finish that celebrate the beauty of handmade Mexican pottery.
