Stone bust of the Maize God, Maya, Copan, Honduras, Late Classic period, c600-c800. This sculpture is one of eight that were once set on the cornice of Structure 22, comissioned by Waxaklajuun Ub aah K awiil (also known as 18-Rabbit), the thirteenth ruler of Copan. It was built in 715 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of his accession to the throne.
