Nahuatl is the name of the language group still spoken in the central American region where the Aztecs lived in what is now modern day Mexico, El Salvador and the small neighbouring states. This Aztec Nahuatl Jaguar Vase as seen above is in the typical style that has been passed down from generation to generation for many hundreds of years. In many ways, the jaguar design on this Nicaraguan pottery jar is reminiscent of the Aztec warriors known as Jaguar Warriors. These professional soldiers made up an elite unit of the Aztec army and dressed in costumes which echoed the markings of the Jaguar cat.

The beautiful rich reds and oranges of this Aztec Nahuatl Jaguar Vase will suit a variety of interior design styles. If you have a fondness for Central and South American art and culture, especially from the Aztec period, then this Jaguar vase will make a nice addition to a living room, hallway or bedroom. The jaguar themed vase has been made by skilled artisans in the nation of Nicaragua which if you’re a stamp collector you might be familiar with due to the fascinating stamp designs that originate there.

Did you know?: A few years ago archaeologists found a jar in Guatemala which portrayed on its side a stringed musical instrument. Dating from the Maya of the Late Classic Era (600-900 AD), it is the only known representation of a stringed instrument before the arrival of the Spanish. What is even more amazing is the sound it makes. When the instrument was reproduced and played the sound that resulted was virtually identical to a jaguar’s growl.

The vases are the creation of Texan designer Billy Moon. As well as being an economist, Moon is also an icon in the home furnishings industry. Over the last 20 years, he has gone on to win numerous design awards as well as open design operations in Mexico and China, the latter of which he made his home. His willingness to travel the world and experience the different cultures has resulted in a rich variety of designs for furnishings and decorative items for the home.

This skill can be seen in this set of three green ceramic ursula vases which come with chestnut brown details. The three different shaped vases can be used in a myriad of ways from holding flowers and dried branches, through to being purely decorative pieces on their own merit. The green ceramic vases can be placed on a table top or in the case of the large vase, on the floor, as a decorative accent to a variety of different interior themes.
