[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] [IMG]http://www.the-book-of-mormon.com/mayan-pottery-chama-valley.jpg[/IMG] Ekchuah Also spelled Ek Chuah, the "black war chief" was the patron god of warriors and merchants, depicted carrying a bag over his shoulder. In art, he was a dark-skinned man with circles around his eyes, a scorpion tail and dangling lower lip. In early modern studies of Maya art and iconography, he was sometimes referred to as God M before his identity was firmly established. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Maya_gods_and_supernatural_beings Ek Chuah is the sixth most commonly depicted deity in the codices, and is portrayed 40 times. He has a thick, pendulous lower lip and is generally painted in black, in the Tro-Cortesian codex, or partially black, in the Dresden codex. In the former, his mouth is always surrounded by a dull red circle which makes his thick lips stand out. The hieroglyph of his name is an eye with a black ring. He was beneficial god for traveling merchants. As a beneficent god, he appears carrying a bundle of goods on his back, like a traveling merchant, and in some places he is shown with the head of Xamán Ek, god of the North Star, who, as we will see, is said to have been "The Merchants' Guide" He is being greeted by a king/chief or priest who paints himself black in his honer http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Jdy4nU_GuIwJ:library.thinkquest.org/C004577/religion6.php3+black+m Geez do I have to do everything? And while for the most part Mayans were painted brown some were painted black. [/QB][/QUOTE]
