Jaguar Bust

Statue found in the Isla Zapatera in Nicaragua. The large quantity of statues, petroglyphs and pottery found at the site, and on other islands in the Zapatera archipelago, suggests the area was an important ceremonial centre of pre-Columbian Chorotega people. This bust depicts a human figure sporting a jaguar head over his own.这件雕像出土于尼加拉瓜扎帕特拉岛（Isla Zapatera）。该遗址及扎帕特拉群岛（Zapatera archipelago）其他岛屿上出土的大量雕像、岩画（petroglyphs）与陶器，表明这片区域曾是前哥伦布时期乔罗特加人（Chorotega）的重要仪式中心。此件胸像刻画了一个将美洲豹首置于自身头顶的人形形象。
