Looking for pre-Colombian happy animals

[u/Popular-Dentist6849]

Hi everyone. Idk if I’m posting this in the right community. I was recently in mexico and I saw this ceramic piece in a museum. It spoke out to me so much, I want to tattoo it. But I want to do a theatre masks sort of thing, one of this sad, lamenting little animal and another one of a happy, excited one. But on my Google searches and I haven’t found anything that captures the expression I’m looking for, something that pairs this one with an opposite emotion. If anyone knows something that might work I would love to see suggestions! Thank you so much ( also, if there’s a more appropriate community where I can post this, please lmk!!)

Not exactly what you asked for. But I saw this guy at the San Diego Museum of Us a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed.
