Maya Stucco Head of an Aged Being from the Casa del Coral in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2022
Title: Head of aged being
Date: 7th–9th century
Geography: Guatemala, El Mirador
Culture: Maya
Medium: Stucco
Dimensions: H. 11 7/16 × W. 6 11/16 × D. 6 5/16 in. (29 × 17 × 16 cm)
Classification: Stucco-Sculpture
Credit Line: Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Etnología, Guatemala City, Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala
Accession Number: SL.2.2022.8.5
Artists displayed great imagination in the creation of grotesque creatures. This finely modeled head with luxurious blue paint range from the nearly human to the decidedly fantastic. Their wrinkled faces and toothless mouths evoke old age, in a departure from standard, dignified representations of respected elders and aged gods. Surely perceived as strange, perhaps even amusing, these heads belong to the realm of the wondrous and sometimes fearsome supernatural beings that populated Maya views of the world.
