Kohunlich Quitana Roo Mexico Mayan Masks
Photography by Bill Bell
Kohunlich comes the name "Cohune Ridge". Cohune is a species of fruiting palm
common to the area.
The site is best known for its Temple of the Masks, an Early Classic pyramid
whose central stairway is flanked by huge humanized stucco masks. Built around
500 A.D., this is one of the oldest constructions at the site. After 700 A.D.,
this temple was covered over with a Terminal Classic construction, this
protected the masks and allowed for the masks to remain in excellent shape with
some of the original colors.
These fifth century stucco masks above represent the rulers of Kohunlich
The masks remain
covered to help
preserve the original
colors
