The jaguar is known to be an animal of great beauty and prowess but also of great strength. This stone effigy exemplifies just such strength. The color and texture of the stone by itself, creates a presence for the sculpture. With the hollow eyes and the sculpting of the sharp, angry mouth and teeth, an exceptional power seems to be present. As if an aura was around the work, all attention is directed to this piece, though it is rather simple in its creation. However, the idea of the artist was undoubtedly achieved with this piece, for it shows the grace, sleekness and beauty of a most majestic animal, bringing an inanimate object such as stone to life.
