Maya god L in Palenque Mexico illustration - stock illustration
The Temple of the Cross Complex is a complex of temples at the Maya site of Palenque in the state of Chiapas in Mexico. The Temple of the Cross complex was built by Kan-Bahlum who reigned between 684 AD and 702 AD.
Stele 176 - East sanctuary jamb from the Temple of the Cross. God L, identified by his Muan-bird headdress and jaguar pelt cloak, smokes a large cigar.
God L - codical god is one of the major pre-Spanish Maya deities, specifically associated with trade. Characterized by high age, he is one of the Mam ( 'Grandfather' ) deities. More specifically, he evinces jaguar traits (particularly the ear), a broad feathery hat topped by an owl, and a jaguar mantle or a cape with a pattern somewhat resembling that of an armadillo shell. The best-known monumental representation is on a doorjamb of the inner sanctuary of Palenque's Temple of the Cross.
