Maya God of Rain Ceramic Statuette Crafted by Hand, "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.
