This media file showcases a vibrant, multi-segmented ceramic sculpture displayed against a white, textured wall, likely in an indoor setting such as a gallery or shop in San Andrés Cholula, Mexico. The artwork stands vertically, depicting a stylized, fantastical creature, referred to as "The King of the Mountain." The sculpture's uppermost section forms the head of a beast, possibly a lion or mythical creature, painted in light yellow with black and gold markings around the snout and eyes. It features a distinctive eye with a purple and yellow iris, red dots on the cheeks, and a curving, striped white and black horn or tusk. Below the head, the sculpture is composed of several stacked, circular ceramic segments, interspersed with disc-like separators. The segment directly beneath the head displays black and gold stripes. Following this is a yellow segment adorned with purple wavy lines and stars. A subsequent segment features a grey animal, possibly a boar, against a blue patterned background. Below it, a green frog-like creature is depicted on a similar blue motif. The bottom segment is predominantly orange and yellow, decorated with several yellow circles. A round white label with an orange border is affixed to the wall next to the sculpture. The visible text on this label identifies the artist as "Everest Montes (1990-2009)," the artwork's title as "El rey del monte" (The King of the Mountain), created in "2006," and the material as "Cerámica de alta temperatura" (High-temperature ceramic). A small logo is also visible at the bottom of the label. In the lower right corner of the image, a partial view of other smaller, colorful figurines suggests a broader collection or display. The scene is brightly lit, emphasizing the intricate details and rich colors characteristic of the ceramic artwork, which appears to be a piece of traditional Mexican folk art.
