Mayan jaguar

Jaguar: A symbol of strength, divinity, and general domain over all things – a very big sign of power for the Mayans. By night, the jaguar god would rule over the Mayan Underworld, by day he would prowl across the morning sky from east to west, returning back to the Underworld at dusk. The cosmic forces of day and night fall into the jaguar's realm. A symbol of imminent domain in all things celestial, as well as an ultimate sign for confidence and leadership.
