About I found this info on the internet at

The Maize god is representative of the ripe grain which was the base of the Mayan agriculture. In certain areas of Mesoamerica, like Yucatan, the Maize god is combined with the god of flora, Yumil Kaxob. The Maize god is principally shown with a headdress of maize and a curved streak on his cheek. He is also noticeable from other gods throug his youth. Despite this youth, the Maize god was powerless by himself. His fortunes and misfortunes were decided by the control of rain and drought. The Rain god would protect him. However, he suffered when the Death god exercised drought and famine.

A really nice shot, especially in black and white. I love that light spot in the center. Those silhouetted corn stalks look like some kind weird creatures just waiting of a hapless victim to wander in there. It's nice that you supply some information too. Very interesting.
