This print showcases the magnificent Chac-Mool sculpture from Chichen-Itza, Yucatan. Created between 987-1185 BC by the Mayan civilization, this limestone masterpiece stands at an impressive size of 105x148 cm. The Chac-Mool is a reclining rain god deity that holds great significance in Mesoamerican culture. It served as both an offering table and a sacrificial altar, with its stomach cavity used for ceremonial purposes. This unique feature adds to the mystique surrounding this ancient artifact. Displayed at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia in Mexico City, this photograph captures every intricate detail of the sculpture's craftsmanship. The contrast of black and white enhances its timeless beauty while allowing us to focus on its form and symbolism. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and deep-rooted beliefs of the Maya people.
