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. It is not known what the were-jaguar represented to the Olmec, and it may well have represented different things at different times. Coe, M.D. (1972) "Olmec Jaguars and Olmec Kings." In E.P. Benson (ed), The Cult of the Feline. Washington D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks: 1-12. A small village area next to the Mandrill Mayhem station has a number of games stalls, plus a Refresh and Refill drinks station. Fig OCM01: The “X” formed by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec The satellite image in fig. OCM01 highlights how the Olmec “X” may be symbolic of a kingdom that stretched either side of the isthmus. The region highlighted includes the three major cities of the Olmec, which are represented by the three stars around the northern “V” shape of the isthmus. Of the trio, Tres Zapotes is to the west, San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan is the centre/south, and La Venta to the east. The star on the eastern boundary of the highlighted region is the Mayan city of Palenque, and the star in the southwest tip is Zapotec city of Monte Alban. These cities are believed to have been founded by the Olmec and the “X” form does appear to be encrypted

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.

Chessington World of Adventures

The plans, which first began emerging in May 2021 through a series of public consultations followed by a Testing, landscaping and the remaining construction works continued during the early season, with an official opening date announced for World of Jumanji as 15 May 2023. Integration of the jaguar into the sacred and secular realms of the Maya peoples is proven in the archaeological record. The Maya, whose territory spanned the Yucatán Peninsula all the way to the Pacific coast of Guatemala, was a literate society who left documentation of their lives (mostly the lives of the aristocracy) and belief system in the form of books and bas-relief sculpture on temples, stelae, and pottery. Often depicted on these artifacts are the gods the Maya revered and it is no coincidence that these gods often have jaguar attributes. As stated earlier, the jaguar is said to have the ability to cross between worlds, and for the Maya daytime and nighttime represented two different worlds. The living and the earth are associated with the day, and the spirit world and the ancestors are associated with the night. As the jaguar is quite at home in the nighttime, the jaguar is believed to be part of the underworld; thus, "Maya gods with jaguar attributes or garments are underworld gods" (Benson 1998:64). One such god is Xbalanque, one of the Maya Hero Twins who descended to the underworld, and whose entire body is covered with patches of jaguar skin. Another is God L, who is "the primary lord of the underworld" and often is shown with a jaguar ear or jaguar attire, and atop a jaguar throne (Benson 1998: 64-65). Not only is the underworld associated with the ancestors, but it also is understood as, where plants originate. In addition, the Maya's source of fresh water comes from underground pools in the porous limestone that makes up the Yucatán, called cenotes. These associations with water and plants further reinforce the notion of the jaguar as a god of fertility. My own thoughts are that I saw this statue in the museum which used to be at Browns Lane - this was at least 15 years ago. The smaller jaguar models like the one in Balsall Common were seen Jaguar showrooms in the 1960's, I used to see one on my way to school in Leamington at Jaguar dealers George Kidd.
