This sculptural relief represents one of the monumental architectural masks from the ancient Maya city of Kohunlich, located in present-day Quintana Roo, Mexico.

These imposing masks originally adorned the façades of ceremonial structures during the Early Classic period (circa 250–600 AD). They are widely interpreted as solar representations associated with Kinich Ajaw, the Maya sun deity, or as idealized portraits of rulers symbolically identified with the sun — a powerful expression of divine authority, cosmology, and dynastic legitimacy.

Characterized by their frontal symmetry, hieratic expression, and integration into temple architecture, the Kohunlich masks were not decorative elements, but monumental statements of power, ritual significance, and cosmic order. Their presence transformed the building itself into a sacred manifestation of solar energy and political identity.

This sculptural piece faithfully conveys the volumetric strength, architectural presence, and visual impact of the original masks, capturing their solemn expression and weathered appearance as they endure today at the archaeological site.
