Grotesque Head Dress Maya Mayan Mexico Rests Solar Stucco
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the intricate detail and rich symbolism of Mayan art during the Classic period (500-800 AD). The central figure depicted is Kinich Ahau, the Mayan sun god, who is known for his association with the celestial body and the cycle of life and death. In this representation, Kinich Ahau is shown resting on the face of the Water God Jajun, symbolizing the sun's daily journey across the heavens and its eventual descent into the underworld each night. The god's face is adorned with an elaborate bird headdress, which may represent the quetzal, a sacred bird in Mayan culture. The detail of the grotesque head of Jajun, the Water God, adds an element of complexity and contrast to the image. This stunning relief was expertly crafted from stucco and is a testament to the advanced techniques and artistic prowess of the Maya civilization. The artwork was discovered in Campeche, Mexico, and is now proudly displayed at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The intricate details and symbolism of this piece offer a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of the ancient Maya people and their deep connection to the natural world.
