201 - Maya cave art
Mexico

Mexico

DATE Unknown
AUTHOR Unknown Maya artist - Mexico
MEDIA Stone
SIZE Unknown
LOCATION Mexico - Puuc hills of Yucatán - Loltun Caves
NOTES Outside of one of the entrances to Loltun Caves is this large phallic monument. This monolith is almost the height of a person, and is very anatomically correct. It is a rather large example of a phallic tradition which was widespread in the Puuc region during the Late/Terminal Classic period. This particular phallus was not originally found at Loltun. It was found at a small site nearby and transported to the Loltun archaeological zone for protection and for the visiting public.
