EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the back of a throne from Usumacinta, part of the Saenz Collection in Puebla, Mexico. Dating back to the Late Classic Period (600-900 AD), this stone carving by Mayan artists is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess. The focal point of this image is a gnome-like figure situated in the middle, symbolizing inferior worlds according to Mayan mythology. Surrounding it are beautifully carved reliefs depicting various scenes that highlight power dynamics and relationships within ancient Mesoamerican society. Seated on the throne are a male and female figure, presumably representing a monarch and his wife. The elaborate headdresses adorning their heads signify their status and authority. The attention to detail in their facial features and clothing attests to the skillful execution of this artwork. This print, housed at Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico, offers viewers an opportunity to delve into pre-Columbian history through its portrayal of dignitaries, carvings, and symbols associated with Maya culture. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to fascinate art enthusiasts worldwide. Jean Pierre Courau's expert photography brings out every nuance of this remarkable piece while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
