Seated 4 Inch José Gregorio Hernández Figurine - A Tribute to The Mayan Deity

We are excited to offer this beautifully crafted 4-inch seated statue of Maximón, also known as San Simón, represents light and dark. He is considered a trickster—both a filanderer and protector of virtuous couples. According to legend, the village fishermen traveled frequently for trade and enlisted Maximón to protect the virtue of the wives they left behind.

Many people around the world honor the memory and legacy of José Gregorio Hernández through the use of figurines and other devotional objects. These items are often displayed in homes and sacred spaces as a way to remember and pay tribute to Hernández's compassionate spirit.

San Simon is a Maya deity and folk saint represented in various forms by the Maya peoples of several towns in the Guatemalan Highlands. Oral tradition of his creation and purpose in these communities is complex, diverse, and born of the ancient Maya traditions centuries ago.
