EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Mayan art from the Pre-Classic period. The double vase, created between 2000 BC and AD 250, is an exquisite representation of the Mayan civilization's artistic prowess. Crafted from clay, it features two distinct elements: one in the shape of a coati and the other a simple container. The intricate details on this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. The coati element displays expert craftsmanship with its lifelike depiction of this mythological character. Meanwhile, the simplicity of the second container element adds balance to the overall composition. Housed in Museo de Arqueologia in Guatemala, this double vase originates from Kaminaljuyu - an important archaeological site that sheds light on Mayan history and culture. Measuring approximately 16 centimeters in height and 30.5 centimeters in width, it serves as a testament to the skillful hands that shaped it centuries ago. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of reverence for this pre-Columbian artwork. It symbolizes Mexico's rich heritage and mythology while offering insight into ancient beliefs surrounding horoscope, astrology, and illumination. As we admire this miniature masterpiece through Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate both its artistic significance and its cultural importance within North America's indigenous civilizations.
