Book Description
From Book News, Inc. Published to complement the exhibition of the same name organized by Duke University Museum of Art and traveling to several cities during 1994 and 1995. Lavishly illustrated with some 400 color images, the text brings together many
perspectives, including the art historical, archaeological, epigraphical, and ethnohistorical, to examine an overlooked painting tradition. Emphasis is on 6th to 8th century pottery featuring both pictorial and hieroglyphic images, with discussion both
in aesthetic terms and in terms of what the work reveals about Maya society. 11.75x9.75" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
