Large Maya Stone Head Fragment w/ Face of Wind Deity

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A hand carved anthropomorphic stone and of the Maya wind deity, Ik' K'uh, comprised of exaggerated facial features to emphasize his aspects. The piece is a head fragment from a larger statue, the flat sides are etched with large ear spools and ornaments, and atop the brow is a headdress. The visage is very jowly- a thick chin engraved with a T shape, under puckered lips and dimpled, fleshy cheeks under almond shaped eyes set next to a broad nose. The "T" is an important indicator of the deity, for this is the Maya symbol for wind or breath- and this visage looks like the cheeks are full of air to expel as a wind gust. Size: 9" L x 9" W x 12" H (22.9 cm x 22.9 cm x 30.5 cm)

The "T" is the symbol for the Mayan word "ik" meaning both wind and breath, but also had other more ambiguous meanings. Ik' K'uh is the wind and music deity that embodied the breath or spirit, which sustains the gods and invigorates their spiritual force. Breath and breathing marked the difference between life and death. Despite being a destructive force of nature, wind was also life affirming aspect. Wind instruments were important part of ritual use in Maya culture, drawing a connection between human breath, the energy force, creating sound, or giving life to an otherwise intimate object. Ik' K'uh was likely the predecessor to Ehecatl, the wind deity of the Aztecs. Ehecatl - a form of Quetzalcoatl - "Feathered Serpent" in the Nahuatl language - is the Pre-Columbian deity revered as the lord of air and sky. The earliest representations of Quetzalcoatl adorn the Temple of Quetzalcoatl in Teotihuacan, Mexico (ca. 3rd century CE) where numerous stone heads of the divine plumed snake embellish the steps of this Pre-Classic pyramid. The Aztecs believed Ehecatl was an aspect of Quetzalcoatl, and Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl was associated with wind and creation.
