Bold geometric composition of Mayan Chac Mool sculpture by Marilyn Kruger (American, 20th Century). Numbered, titled, and signed ("1/5 Chac #2 Marilyn Kruger") along the lower edge. No frame.
Chac Mool is sculpture of a reclining male figure holding a bowl on his torso. They were given the invented name Chac Mool by nineteenth-century explorers during an archaeological expedition to Chichen Itza. The figure is adorned with a headdress, earflares, bracelets, and anklets, all likely depicted as if they were made of jade. The bowl served as a receptacle for sacrificial liquids and burnt offerings and may have been symbolic of the circular cenotes.
