O soše
Face Fragment, a ceramic piece made between 600 and 1000, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Thick and heavy, it may once have formed part of an incense burner. Its front teeth have a T-shaped outline, one of several features suggesting the Maya god now called G1. That provisional name reflects the difficulty of translating the deity's own name, preserved in hieroglyphs. What the god meant is likewise uncertain, although associations with both water and the sun seem possible.
Slovy muzea
This thick, heavy ceramic face fragment may come from an incensario (incense burner). Several features, including the tau- or T-shaped front teeth, suggest it represents a deity known today only as G1 due to difficulties in translating its Maya name, which is recorded in hieroglyphs. The deity’s meanings are equally elusive, though it seems to be associated with both the sun and water.
