About this deal

Sugiyama, Nawa; Somerville, Andrew D.; Schoeninger, Margaret J. (2015-09-02). "Stable Isotopes and Zooarchaeology at Teotihuacan, Mexico Reveal Earliest Evidence of Wild Carnivore Management in Mesoamerica". PLOS ONE. 10 (9): e0135635. Bibcode: 2015PLoSO..1035635S. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0135635. ISSN 1932-6203. PMC 4557940. PMID 26332042. Following the granting of planning permission in January 2022 construction began in earnest and continued throughout the 2022 season, with the Monument 1, Las LimasBabies and children feature heavily in the carvings and reliefs of the Olmec, which supports the idea that jaguar imagery corresponds to the royal jaguar lineage . One prime example is Monument 1 from Las Limas, which is a stone carving of a parent holding a were-jaguar baby. The baby exhibits all the emblems of the were-jaguar, including the downturned mouth, ear braids and the “X” across the chest. The parent has inscriptions of four other supernaturals engraved on their knees and shoulders, including the “Banded-eye God”, “Olmec Dragon”, “Bird Monster” and “Fish Monster”. The common belief is that the statue represents the offering of the deformed baby to the Gods. However, the statue could equally be commemorating the birth of a new member of the Jaguar lineage and a successor to the throne of the “X” Kingdom, with the inscription on the knees and shoulders indicating the parent’s own divine lineage which is passing onto the child. It is not known what the were-jaguar represented to the Olmec, and it may well have represented different things at different times.

Tēcuani (and its variants tekuani, tekuane, tecuane) means "jaguar" in Nahuatl. In the south-center of Mexico the "danza de los tecuanes" is performed in at least 96 communities. In this region jaguar dances are very popular. There are many variants of jaguar dances. Some of the most popular are the "tecuanes dances", "tlacololeros dances" and "tlaminques dances" [6] An Olmec transformation figure, thought to show the transformation of a religious authority into a jaguar. Jaguars and naguals [ edit ] The jaguar is further associated with vegetation and fertility by the Maya with what is known as the Waterlily jaguar, which is depicted as having water lilies sprouting from its head (Benson 1998:64-67). Aztec jaguar warrior, from the Codex Magliabechiano Artists working in every medium from furniture design to jewelry to painting have found inspiration in wild animals over the years. For sculptors, three-dimensional animal renderings — both realistic and symbolic — crisscross history and continents. In as early as 210 B.C., intricately detailed terracotta horses guarded early Chinese tombs, while North America’s native Inuit tribes living in the ice-covered Arctic during the 1800’s wore small animal figurines carved from walrus ivory. Indeed, animal sculpture has a long history, and beginning in the 19th century, the art form started becoming not only fashionable but artistically validated — a trend that continues today. At home, animal sculptures — polished bronze rhinos crafted in the Art Deco style or ceramic dogs of the mid-century modern era — can introduce both playfulness and drama to your decor. In the case of the frosted glass sculptures crafted by artisans at legendary French glassmaker Lalique, founded by jeweler and glass artist René Lalique, some animal sculptures are purely decorative. With their meticulously groomed horse manes and detailed contours of their parakeet feathers, these creatures want to be proudly displayed. Adding animal sculptures to your bookcases can draw attention to your covetable collection of vintage monographs, while side tables and wall shelving also make great habitats for these ornamental animal figurines. Other instances of the jaguar in Mesoamerican cultures [ edit ] Tecuanes dances in present-day Mexico [ edit ] Tecuanes alpuyecaThe Olmec civilisation were given their name by historian Marshall H Saville in 1929 and is based on an Aztec name, meaning “rubber people”. The Aztec had used it to describe a culture from the rubber making region of Veracruz, where many new discoveries had been found which Saville was investigating. It is thought that Saville, who died just 6 years later, was commenting on another, more recent, culture of the same region 1, however the name ended up being mistakenly attributed to this much more ancient civilisation. The official research yields a quite different reasoning, it should be mentioned, believing the images of “were-babies” to be portraying the sacrificial offering of new-borns and children to the Gods. There is no agreement on the existence of the other 7 supernaturals or their roles in the Olmec religion. There is no agreement on the meaning of the “X” thatseems to be of such great importance it appears everywhere. There is little understanding on the difference between the jaguar portrayals which feature the snout and those that simply feature the downturned mouth. However, research is very much in its infancy and the more that is recovered from the ground and private collections, the more understanding researches will have. For the time being, the idea of a jaguar lineage seems as strong, if not stronger, than any other explanation for trends found in the Olmec artwork, and should possibly be known as the Children of the Jaguar. Mythologically significant animal of the Western Hemisphere The day sign "Jaguar" from the Codex Laud In the surviving Olmec archaeological record, jaguars are rarely portrayed naturalistically, but rather with a combination of feline and human characteristics. These feline anthropomorphic figures may range from a human figure with slight jaguar characteristics to depictions of figures in the so-called transformative pose, kneeling with hands on knees, to figures that are nearly completely feline.

No doubt, the jaguar's brilliant coat made it quite desirable, however, not all were allowed to don the jaguar pelt as it became the identification of the ruling class for the Maya. Not only did Maya kings wear jaguar pelts, but they also adopted the jaguar as part of their ruling name, as a symbol of their might and authority. One such ruling family to incorporate the jaguar into their name is known as, Jaguar Paw, who ruled the Maya city of Tikal in the fourth century. Jaguar Paw I was ousted by central Mexicans from Teotihuacán, and it was not until late in the fifth century that the Jaguar Paw family returned to power (Coe 1999: 90). Other Maya rulers to incorporate the jaguar name include, Scroll Jaguar, Bird Jaguar, and Moon Jaguar, just to name a few (Coe 1999: 247-48). In addition to the ruling class, the jaguar also was associated with warriors and hunters. Those who excelled in hunting and warfare often adorned themselves with jaguar pelts, teeth, or claws and were "regarded as possessing feline souls" (Saunders 1998: 26). For two millennia, the Olmec civilisation lay forgotten beneath the jungles of Veracruz and the ruins of subsequent Mesoamerican cities. The trail of their rediscovery began in 1867 when José Melgar y Serrano reported the existence of an enormous basalt head in the village of Tres Zapotes. The heads have See also: Olmec were-jaguar Clay jaguar from Monte Albán, provisionally dated from 200 BC to AD 600. Height: 56 cm (22 inches)
