Ezdy Art

Chaahk is shown here clutching his axe, ready to strike rain and thunder from the clouds. This sculpture was likely created in the Puuc hills of Yucatan and Campeche (Mexico).

Chaac is usually depicted with a human body showing reptilian or amphibian scales, and with a non-human head evincing fangs and a long, pendulous nose. In the Classic style, a shell serves as his ear ornament. He often carries a shield and a lightning axe, the axe being personified by a closely related deity, called Bolon Dzacab in Yucatec.
The Classic Chaac sometimes shows features of the Central Mexican (Teotihuacan) precursor of Tlaloc.
