Human-Sized Maya Mask Found in Mexico
The stucco sculpture—dated to between 300 B.C. and 250 A.D.—probably depicts a deity or elite member of society
A giant Mayan mask as tall as a person has been revealed at an archaeological site in the Mexican state of Yucatán. The stucco mask of Ucanha being worked on by archaeologists
The mask, which depicts the face of an unknown deity or elite person, was sculpted from the building material stucco and dates back to a period in Maya history known as the Late Preclassic (about 300 B.C. — A.D. 250), according to the news outlet Novedades Yucatán.
