Lavishly Illustrated, Fully Crossreferenced And Indexed: An Invaluable Book For Anyone Wishing To See And Understand Maya Art Through The Eyes Of Ancient Scribes And Artists. The Art Of The Ancient Maya May Be Considered Their Most Singular Cultural Achievement. Yet Despite A Surge Of Popular Interest In These Remarkable People, Few Are Fully Aware Of The Richness Of Their Artistic Legacy, Unique In All Of Precolumbian America. Maya Art Is A Rare Combination Of Linear Elegance And Naturalism Blended With Dazzling Symbolic Complexity.

Organized Thematically, The Symbols Touch On Many Facets Of The Maya World, From The Natural Environmentanimals, Plants, The Heavensto The Mental Landscape Of Gods, Myths, And Rituals. Using Hundreds Of Line Drawings And Photographs, Andrea Stone And Marc Zender Show How To Identify These Signs, Understand Their Meaning, And Appreciate The Novel Ways They Appear In Art. In Addition To Providing A Basic Introduction, The Authors Also Offer Many New And Exciting Interpretations. 535 Blackandwhite Illustrations
