"Jade head of Ahaw K'in. The Sun God was a popular
subject for Mayan jades, perhaps reflecting a sunlike
quality perceived as characteristic of jade Ahaw K'in, the Sun God
The Sun God, called Awah K'in (or Kinich Ahau), is sometimes equated with Itzamna, though he is younger in appearance. Sun during the day, he becomes the Jaguar God of the Underworld during the night.
Maya kings, like many other kings, often identified with the Sun God."
Note the crossed eyes.
