Chac-Mool: A Bicentennial Loan from Mexico
Nov 19, 1976–Mar 05, 1977
This exhibition showcased a major piece of Maya-Toltec sculpture—a chac-mool, or reclining figure likely meant to depict a warrior—created between 978 and 1185 AD at Chichén Itzá in the Yucatán. This exhibition showed the work, on loan from the Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Mexico City, alongside 17 Meso-American works from the Hirshhorn collection.
