The art of the Maya has been the subject of research, the results of which has shed much new light on the Maya scribes and their world. Their artistic achievements in stone, wood, stucco, shell, ceramics, murals and screenfold books are unsurpassed in pre-Columbian America. They are examined in detail in this book with the aid of many and varied photographs.

Amazing, beautiful book, with many images not reproduced anywhere else. It went with an Grolier Publishing sponsored exhibition of Maya ceramics and other works of art, many of which came from private collections.
