EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Mayan art during the pre-classical period. The stelae, made of stone and dating back to 600-1100 AD, are adorned with a stylistic mask representing a deity. This ancient artifact is currently housed in the Museo de Arqueologia in Guatemala City. The intricate details of the mask reveal the skill and creativity of Mayan artisans. Every curve and line on this stone stele speaks volumes about their reverence for mythology and gods. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when these mythological characters held immense significance. The dimensions of this piece stand at an impressive height of 103 cm, making it even more awe-inspiring. Its presence commands attention as it stands tall within its display at the museum. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this cultural treasure through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. Through her photograph, she invites us into a world where ancient civilizations thrived and artistic expression flourished. This image not only serves as a reminder of our rich history but also sparks curiosity about Central America's prehispanic past. It reminds us that there is so much more to discover about our ancestors' beliefs and traditions through their remarkable carvings like these stelae decorated with mythical masks.
