Marilyn Kruger
"Chac #2" - Sky Blue Geometric Mayan Chac Mool Lithograph

late 20th Century

About the Item

Modern and bold abstract geometric composition of Mayan sculpture Chac Mool in sky blue by Marilyn Kruger (American, 20th Century). Numbered, titled, and signed ("1/5 Chac #2 Marilyn Kruger") along the lower edge. No frame. Chac Mool is sculpture of a reclining male figure holding a bowl on his torso. They were given the invented name Chac Mool by nineteenth-century explorers during an archaeological expedition to Chichen Itza. The figure is adorned with a headdress, earflares, bracelets, and anklets, all likely depicted as if they were made of jade. The bowl served as a receptacle for sacrificial liquids and burnt offerings and may have been symbolic of the circular cenotes.
