Con solo un cinturón, un collar y pulseras, esta diosa maya está realizada con llamativos detalles en madera de cedro. Nicolás Chávez Sojuel explora las raíces mayas de Guatemala, trabajando con artesanos locales para tallar a mano esta escultura. Según Sojuel, esta escultura refleja la historia de la resurrección del Dios del Maíz. Según la historia, existen diosas desnudas en el inframundo maya, Xibalbá, que atienden al dios y lo visten en preparación para su resurrección. Una de estas diosas está retratada en esta escultura.
