MAYAN JADE PENDANT OF A DEITY
LATE CLASSIC, CA. A.D. 550-950
Of semi-circular form boldly carved with the physiognomy, most probably, of the Sun God with characteristic large, rimmed eyes and emphatic brow area, wearing pierced ear ornaments and elaborate headdress incorporating a stylized monster's head; in spinach green stone, pierced several times for suspension.
The Sun God is the most ancient Maya deity that can be identified in the archaeological record. The sun was a symbol of royal authority in the Classical period. Kings often bear the solar title K'inich Ahaw (Sun-eyed Lord). This was also likely the name of the Sun God.
In Yucatec and Chol, the languages of the Maya script, k'in means both "day" and "sun."
