Maya Lord Chaac

Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association capture the divine essence of Lord Chaac in this original ornate sculpture - an amagalm inspired by various Maya depictions. Chaac is God of Rain and one of the most important dieties in the Maya Pantheon. Elaborate ceremonies were performed in his honor requesting a good and plentiful harvest. 'He is usually portrayed as an anthropomorphic image fusing reptilian or amphibian characteristics with that of an elderly human,' explain the artisans regarding their original interpretation.
