EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Mayan Scribe from 300-650 A. D. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as we witness the scribe kneeling down to write with intense concentration. In his right hand, he holds an awl or sharp instrument, ready to etch intricate details onto the surface before him. His left hand delicately cradles a roll of parchment, symbolizing the importance and significance of his work. The stone relief originates from the Palenque ruins in Chiapas, Mexico - remnants of an ancient civilization that thrived centuries ago. This sculpture serves as a testament to their advanced knowledge and sophisticated craftsmanship. As we observe this scene, we are transported back in time to witness the dedication and skill possessed by these Mayan artisans. The scribe's head dress adorned with feathers adds an element of mystique and cultural richness to this artwork. It reminds us that behind every stroke of his instrument lies deep-rooted traditions and beliefs passed down through generations. This photograph is not just a mere depiction; it is an invitation for us to delve into Mesoamerican history and appreciate its profound impact on Latin American culture. Through this image, artist Bradley Smith has beautifully captured both the artistic mastery and intellectual prowess embodied by this ancient civilization.
