EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable low relief sculpture depicting the dramatic moment of the Capture of Bolon Yoop by Kan Bahlam II, from Temple XVII in Palenque. Created by the Mayan civilization around 695 AD, this stone carving is now housed in the Museo de Palenque in Chiapas State, Mexico. The artwork portrays K'inich Kan Bahlam II, also known as Chan Bahlum II, who reigned as King of Baakal during the Classic period of Mesoamerican history. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in this piece are truly awe-inspiring. The profile view captures his regal countenance adorned with a traditional headdress and costume that reflect his royal status. In this scene, Kan Bahlam II is depicted as a skilled hunter wielding a spear-like weapon to capture Bolon Yoop. The dynamic composition and masterful use of low relief technique bring an incredible sense of motion and intensity to the artwork. This photograph not only highlights the artistic excellence achieved by ancient Mayan sculptors but also provides us with a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to their advanced civilization and their ability to create enduring works of art that continue to captivate audiences even today.
