This large relief sculpture of a crouching feline was carved by Nopiloa artist(s) from an irregular boulder of volcanic stone. It most likely depicts one of the 2 largest predators in the Americas, either a jaguar or a puma. From Mexico, 600–1000 CE, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum [2814×4591]

    1. Carving a cat is hard, but this has to be one of the least artistic carvings I’ve ever seen. It looks cursed to be honest.

      Have you ever seen Inuit carvings made in soapstone? Amazing and gorgeous.
