A rare Maya stone figure from the Highlands of Guatemala, ca. 100 - 500 A.D. It is 6-3/4? high and depicts a seated individual with elbows resting on the knees, propping up the head. The deeply hollow eyes convey that this is an individual entering the Underworld of Xibalba on his journey through the Afterlife. He is carrying what was likely meant to be a basket filled with offerings for the lords of Xibalba. Superbly detailed and in excellent condition, with good mineral deposits.
