this is an alligator sculpture lying on a blue base, holding a small bowl while wearing decorative beaded jewelry around its neck and arms. the entire surface is covered with detailed scale patterns that vary in size across the body, and the alligator has realistic features like white teeth, individual toes with claws, and a relaxed, almost human - like pose. after seeing the title of the piece was called crocmoor, i researched that the inspiration is from aztec mythology and archaeology. a “chac mool” refers to a type of large stone sculpture depicting a reclining figure with a receptacle on its stomach.
