Обширный тематический каталог искусства майя с толкованием.
Более 500 иллюстраций.
Lavishly illustrated, fully cross-referenced and indexed: an invaluable book for anyone wishing to see and understand
Maya art through the eyes of ancient scribes and artists.
Presented here for the first time is a compendium of one hundred hieroglyphs that are also the building blocks
of ancient Maya painting and sculpture. Organized thematically, the symbols touch on many facets of the Maya world,
from the natural environment — animals, plants, the heavens — to 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.
