A stylized jaguar against a background of Mayan friezes from the Belizean pyramid of Xunantunich. The drawing incorporates several real animals I encountered in Belize as well as Mayan cave painting iconography and motifs. The groupings of patterns on the face represent the length and amount of months as well as the number of unlucky days in the Mayan calendar. The bead represents royalty or divinity, and the jaguar is an embodiement of the god of the sun, who incarnates into a jaguar to enter the underworld at night.
