Loyal admirer of Mexico's pre-Hispanic art, Angel Cerón creates a faithful replica of one of the glyphs at the Cross Temple, from the Maya sacred city of Palenque. The ceramic plaque details Chan-Bahlum prior to being crowned, standing in front of his dead father, Pacal. They bring offerings to a foliated cross, a sacred tree that symbolizes the world's central axis, its roots reaching into the underworld. Ceron creates a crackled finish to create the illusion of an antique piece. Features a textile hook for hanging.
