Busto, Antique sculpture of a polychrome bronze bust of an Aztec jaguar warrior 'ocēlōpilli' - 24.5 cm - Bronzo
A majestic polychrome bronze bust of an Aztec jaguar warrior 'ocēlōpilli'. The three feathers are also bronze.

The jaguar warrior, called ocēlōpilli in the Nahuatl language, was a member of the Mexica army who served as a professional soldier within the forces of the empire itself.
The reason for his dress was due to the belief that he represented Tezcatlipoca, god of the night sky. The Aztecs also wore this costume in war because they believed that the forces of the animal would be given to them during battles.
