About this item
Jaguar from head to toe
A new pearl gold jaguar headdress with feathers sits on top, and jaguar-skin markings are printed on his arms, chest, back and legs (The Brothers Brick, Jay’s Brick Blog). His double-sided face is smiling on one side and fierce on the other.
Macuahuitl and shield
The macuahuitl, a wooden sword edged with obsidian, is a new dual-moulded piece (The Brothers Brick, Jay’s Brick Blog), and the round pearl gold shield carries a jaguar design.
