Crested Cara Cara
The land of the Crested Cara Cara … This powerful hunter ( 4 foot wingspan ) is in the Falcon family and appears in a few Texas locations and down into Central and South America. Last night we had a seminar on the ancient art of Peru. The Cara Cara seems the perfect symbol for that culture …he is strong, (look at those feet!), and has that piercing stare seen on pottery of Inca and Maya warriors … Our Prof., Bob Bradley, gave us a PowerPoint presentation of his research trips to Peru filled with amazing images of their art and artifacts.
Inca Pottery
Looks like Art History is going to cover all kinds of stimulating subjects!
