I fucking love this. It’s so cute but also so menacing with its teeth and red eyes. I wonder what animal it represents. Puma? Some small wild cat? If it was a jaguar I feel like the spots would have survived if it ever had any. Why does it have a bird on its head? Is it related to mythology and folktales or pure whimsy? They must have had people making whimsical nonsense back then, too.

The client needs a vessel that is largely practical but mostly to give his kids cat based nightmares.

Did pre-Columbian Peruvians have cats? I didn’t think they had domesticated cats until after, so maybe it’s based on a wild cat?

Its well done but also goofy, I like it. Id love to be able to interview the artist and ask what vibe they were going for. Just normal artistic expression? Scary? Deliberately silly?

That one is clearly not from Peru. It’s obviously from Cheshire…
