Description: The Shank Shop Life And Death Jaguar Roar WhistleThis Is A Real Whistle, Hand Crafted!NOT 3D PRINTED To the ancient peoples of Mesoamerica, the jaguar was more than just an animal; it was divine. Almost every ancient Mesoamerican civilization revered the jaguar in some way. The Olmec (circa 1200-400 B.C.) heavily featured jaguars in their art and religion. Sculptures of cats were popular, as were depictions of deities who appear to be half human, half jaguar, which scholars describe as were-jaguars. The Maya also connected the magnificent feline’s abilities with various natural phenomena. The Maya believed that the jaguar’s ability to see at night made it possible for it to move between worlds, associating it with the underworld and mortality. Maya art and architecture are also filled with jaguars, the most famous perhaps is the red jaguar throne found in El Castillo, the great pyramid of Chichén Itzá, built more than 1,500 years ago. The Jaguar was a symbol of political and Military power These clay whistles, flutes, are replicas of ancient sculptures found in Maya and Aztec culture, many found in ancient tombs by archeologists, when they where first found, experts believed they where toys, but later found out most where war artifacts used to scare their enemies away, there is a wide variety of whistles, from the animal shaped that come in different sizes and shapes and can be used as flutes, skulls that represent the sound of death, or a human scream, and Jaguar heads that make an incredible jaguar roar. there is also a skull that makes la llorona scream, also known as "The weeping Woman" la llorona is very famous in Latin American Folklore The instruments are known as “whistles of death” because historians believe they were used to help guide sacrificial victims on their journey to the afterlife, the sacrifice of a human life was the ultimate offering of blood to the gods, and the most important Maya rituals culminated in human sacrifice, becoming a sacrifice in our culture meant the highest honor. most of the time we see death as unbearable or scary, it is only a bridge to the afterlife, and these whistles where used as the road maps to get there. our goal is to keep our culture alive and well preserved in art, a trade that has been handed to my family from past generations, each item is hand crafted by us, there are not two alike, and I can assure that there is not another exact craft. we put a lot of love into each one of our items, we strive to reach perfection even though it is nearly impossible, specially working with clay or ceramic, there could be stress marks or small cracks made by the changing temperatures our crafts are put to.
