Jaguar-headed Tenon - Carved Stone - Chavin
Jaguar-headed tenon (or “nailed head” / “cabeza clava”), carved from stone, inspired by the art of the pre-Columbian Chavín civilization in Peru or by similar pieces from theMesoamerican/Andean region.
This type of architectural element was traditionally embedded or set into temple facades
In the Andean world, the jaguar, the serpent, and the condor form a sacred trinity known as the Andean Trilogy. Each animal represents a level of the universe, a force of nature, and an aspect of spirituality; all three can be found on this stone.
Dimensions: 30x37x20 cm
