Ancient Maya view bats as having otherworldly powers and bestowing strength against enemies. Bats are vital pollinators who support cave communities of insects, amphibians and other small creatures that rely on the nutrients in bat guano. They also consume great quantities of deadly mosquitoes. Brian Yatsattie's awesome Bat has coral eyes set to a wonderful face. Intricate etching brings out webbed wings. About 2 3/8" long, 6" wide and 5/8" tall, from rich jet which is actually fossilized coal.
