Lechuza Priest Hyena this iconic Oaxacan folk art'Owl Man'. Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayans feared owls as they recognized them as gatekeepers of the underworld. Associated with rain, maize, and death the Owl sect of sorcerers were revered. Avelino took the approach of making this figurines aesthetic to resemble an unearthed temple artifact.
