'This name has been applied to a cIas.^of sculptures at Chichen Itza, which represents a human being, 

 partially reclining, lying on its back; the knees and elbows are raised, and the feet drawn in; the head is 

 elevated and turned to one side; the hands hold a bowl for burning incense. One of these Chac Mools was 

 found in front of this temple, hence its name: "The Temple of Chac Mool." 



= The identification of these two structures as Ball Courts is not certain, though probably correct. 

 E.\cavation would doubtless clear up this point.
