Chahk, Maya rain god in limestone

A tall, standing limestone figure with a pale, weathered surface, shown frontally with arms bent and a long rectangular object held at the left side. The face wears a broad expression under a tall headdress, with a necklace, belt, and tapered legs ending in splayed feet against a plain backdrop.
