King Pakal Mask

A reproduction of the burial mask found in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico, dating from 683 A.D. It belonged to King Pakal, one of the main rulers of the dynasty of that ancient city, and today rests in the National Museum of Anthropology (INAH) in Mexico City. Here it is carved in Guatemalan jadeite, a stone the Maya treasured above gold.
