Godhead
This head glyph, believed to represent the Mayan sun god K'inich Ajaw, is likely related to the 52-year cycle of the Mayan Calendar Round. He is shown here with his usual characteristics; being bearded, fanged, square-eyed and with the glyph for 'Day' (kin) upon his brow. Also displayed is a jaguar's ear at the back of his head, as he was believed to transform into a feline at the coming of night to travel through Xibalba, the land of the dead.
K'inich Ajaw was the patron deity of the day known as Muluc, day 9 of the 20 day week, and he was closely associated with warriors, rulers and jaguars.
