Ahau Kin

Mythology: Mayan

God of the sun. He is described having the features of a jaguar. His name means 'Lord of the Sun Face' and he possess both daytime and nocturnal aspects. He is sometimes an aged man to reflect the age old sun. He has cross eyed which is a reflection of Mayan beauty.

During the day, he has the appearance of a Jaguar and is a jaguar god. When the sun sets, he becomes the god of the underworld where he travels from west to the east. Being the lord of the number 4, this alludes to the four special positions of the sun as it makes its journey across the sky.
