Rio Azul Mask Replica

The face of the Sun God, carved in solid jade. This replica follows a mask from the ancient city of Rio Azul in northern Guatemala, with red jasper eyes and shell inlays for the eye whites and tongue. The face depicts Kinich Ahau, the Sun God, and the back carries glyphic writing. Solid stone masks are very rare in the Maya region. The original is in the Barbier-Mueller collection in Barcelona, Spain.
