Maximon is actually a pre-Columbian Mayan god of the underworld formerly known as Maam ("grandfather") or Rilaj Mam; his modern name is a conflation of Mam and Simon. Contemporary images do not depict the deity himself, but rather a life-sized carved wooden statue of the god dressed in early 20th century clothing. He is portrayed as a mustached man seated outdoors at a crossroads, wearing a black suit, red tie, and wide-brimmed hat. There are many such life-sized statues of him, enshrined in a number of Mayan towns."
