Ceramic figurine, '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 Yucat�n. Thought to depict sacrificial victims, the bowls received offerings to the gods � perhaps even human hearts. Angel Cer�n recreates the enigmatic image in an exquisite ceramic sculpture.
