This monument depicts a deer standing on a rocky ledge atop a cement slanted rectangular plinth about 6 or 7 feet high. It is located in Mazatlan's historic tourist district next to the Hotel La Siesta. This website (
visit link) informs us:
"...the Deer Monument, a tribute to the pre-conquistador ancient history. Mazatlán is “The Place of the Deer,” in Nahuatl, so the statue is “our” symbol."
Unfortunately there is no information at the site about the artist or date.
