Jaguar Paddler God
Serti Technique on Silk
Jaguar Paddler God
Serti Technique on Silk
One of three Mayan Gods known as the Palenque Triad.
The first stories of the Triad begin around 3000-4000 bc. and are found through the late classic period. This one - with the Jaguar headdress leads the canoe - the Maze Paddler God usually steers from the stern.
Symbols on the paddle, canoe and tattooed on his arms, show the hieroglyphs for heaven or supreme other world.
I’ve painted the Jaguar Paddler God with favorite glyphs in my own style. The glyphs are; sun, earth, fresh new earth, sunrise...
The original painting was created using the Serti Technique on Silk.
This painting is also available as a kiln-fired tile mural, in custom sizes. For more information on tile murals and original paintings visit www.savanna-art.com
