Toltec Maya Archaeological Ceramic Sculpture from Mexico, "Chac Mool"

A unique fusion of Maya and Toltec styles, the chac mool depicts a reclining person holding a bowl. The first such figures were discovered in the late 1800s in a number of sites in Yucatán. Thought to depict sacrificial victims, the bowls received offerings to the gods – perhaps even human hearts. Angel Cerón recreates the enigmatic image in an exquisite ceramic sculpture.
