Chacmool

Chacmool in the form of an ashtrey.
This figure believed to represent the rain god 'Chac' was brought offerings - possibly the heart and the blood of people sacrified - that were placed in teh bowl (in this case a plate) on top of the Chachmool's body.
Oh irony: presented as an ashtrey Chacmool continues to make victims one could say ...


other sizes: small medium large original auto
