An anthropomorphized leaf-nosed bat called Camazotz or Zotzilaha Chamalcan is an ancient Mayan Bat god believed to represent night, death and sacrifice. Because beneficial bats live in caves around sacred cenotes, Indigenous Mesoamerican societies regarded these mammals as being guardians associated with the underworld. What a chilling sight to behold as millions of bats swarm out of the mysterious underworld to begin nightly duties. Sculpted from marble, Calbert Bowannie's coral-eyed mammal has an approximately 4 1/4" wingspan, is 2 3/4" from nose to tail and 1/2" thick. Finger details are evident on the top as well as the underside of this fabulous carving that sits on its belly with wings slightly lifted.
