Step into the mystic world of ancient Mesoamerica with this stunning reproduction of the Palenque Sarcophagus Lid, originally discovered in the Temple of the Inscriptions, the final resting place of the great Mayan ruler Pakal the Great (K’inich Janaab’ Pakal).

The central figure—believed to be Pakal himself—is shown in a dynamic pose, suspended between the Earth and the heavens, surrounded by intricate carvings that reflect the Mayan cosmos. His reclining form atop the "earth monster" symbolizes death, while the great World Tree rises above him, acting as a conduit to the celestial realm. The carving is a masterpiece of Maya cosmology, full of spiritual symbolism—life, death, rebirth, and divine kingship.

  • Faithfully inspired by the original limestone lid (7-ton masterpiece!) in Palenque, Mexico
  • A striking tribute to Maya art, ideal for wall display, altars, or educational settings
  • Size: 14.5 in L x 8.8 in H x 0.75 in D
  • Weight: 6.7 lbs
  • Material: compound stone, interior use or exterior under a patio
  • Item Type: wall hanging
