This handcrafted Clay sculpture from Metepec, Mexico, represents a tlacuache, a sacred spirit animal in many Mesoamerican cultures. Revered as a clever and mystical creature, the tlacuache was seen as a symbol of survival, wisdom, and fire-bringer in Aztec mythology.
The artisan gave this figure ceremonial details—raised hands, large ears, and a decorated collar—honoring its role as a guide between worlds. Sculpted in earthy clay with ancestral techniques, it captures the powerful essence of indigenous storytelling and belief.
Ideal for collectors of pre-Hispanic art, mythology lovers, or those creating a spiritual altar, this piece adds soul, culture, and connection to ancient Mexican roots. Each sculpture is one-of-a-kind and full of symbolic meaning.
Bring home a piece of living tradition with this mystical tlacuache figure—a guardian of stories and protector of sacred spaces.
