Rare in its beauty and design, this Iguana-type
animal sits patiently before us, as if waiting or
resting. The hard granite- like material from
which it is made, adds a life-like quality to its
skin, seemingly allowing it to breathe and come
alive. The facial features and scales move with
the stone, creating a creature that is beyond
imagination in its beauty and character. The
lizard was of particular importance in Mexican
culture and mythology, explaining its presence in
a variety of ancient artifacts and rituals. Though
its actual function is not clear, the dedication it
took to create such a marvelous work of art
leaves us awe-inspired and enchanted, wishing
and yearning to learn more about the past and its
hidden meanings, becoming a part of the past
and relating it to the present. L. 62cm(24.5IN)
