Panel with Royal Woman, c. 795. Creator: Unknown
Panel with Royal Woman, c. 795. In this panel, probably from a palace interior, the womans static posture contrasts with the liveliness of the creature she holds, a god of royalty with a serpent leg and a grotesque head with a smoking torch on its brow. (The same deity is shown in the nearby Eccentric Flint.) Other signs of high rank are her jade jewelry and costume, its beauty suggesting that textiles and featherwork were great Maya arts, now lost to a tropical climate. The hieroglyphics refer to an undefined ritual that the woman completed in 795

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic "Panel with Royal Woman" from around 795, a creation of an unknown artist. The panel, believed to have adorned the interior of a palace, presents a striking contrast between the woman's static posture and the vibrant creature she cradles in her arms. This celestial being is none other than a god of royalty, characterized by its serpent leg and grotesque head crowned with a smoking torch. Adjacent to this artwork lies another depiction of this deity called Eccentric Flint. The regal woman's opulent jade jewelry and exquisite costume signify her high rank within Maya society. These artifacts serve as remnants of lost arts such as textile weaving and featherwork that once flourished in this tropical region. The hieroglyphics adorning the panel allude to an unspecified ritual completed by the woman in 795, shrouding her actions in mystery. Dating back to the Classic Period (250-900), this limestone sculpture embodies Maya style and originates from either Mexico or Guatemala. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this masterpiece remains an enigma yet continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and rich cultural significance. Through Heritage Art/Heritage Images' photo print, we are granted access to explore ancient Mayan heritage while marveling at their artistic prowess.
