EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print, titled "Divinity, priest or hero of Maya nation" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient Maya civilization. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this artwork is housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago. The image depicts two figures adorned in elaborate traditional costumes. The standing man, believed to be a divinity, priest, or hero of the Maya nation, dons an opulent feathered headdress and arm decoration with a disc at his wrist. He gestures towards the seated man on a stone structure who holds a shield. Both individuals exude regality and power through their attire. The scene is said to have been inspired by one of the tombs found within Chichen Itza's teocalli (temple-pyramid). The vibrant red, blue, and yellow colors used for these figures indicate their significance within Mayan religious ceremonies and rituals. Through this artwork's intricate details and meticulous brushstrokes, we are transported back in time to witness aspects of Mayan culture that continue to fascinate us today. This print serves as both a testament to the artistic skills of its creator and as an important historical document preserving indigenous traditions from North America's past.
