  • Looking for information about an Aztec Jade Statue - looks like a representation of the Bat God, known as... Piquete Ziña. I'm trying to track down some information about The "Bat God", known in Zapotec culture as Piquete Ziña. From my research so far it appears to be of Aztec origin and representative of Piquete Zina. Details : Carved Jade about 5 inches tall ,4 inches in diameter. Figure has a Bat like Head /body with "bat" wings Sitting in a "squatting position" with a Large Phallus A Leopard is standing on the figure's lap and reaching for the neck with the mouth. So Far, It's authenticity as "ancient" has been confirmed by a person who works at the Cranbrook Museum in Bloomfield Michigan. It was suggested that the piece be taken to the field Museum in Chicago for further evaluation. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to inquire if there have been "modern" reproductions of this type of statuary - that has been sold to tourists? Peace
