MAYAS in Antigua Guatemala


 
This exhibition presents the collection -in the custody of La Ruta Maya Foundation- that was shown in the traveling exhibition "Mayas: Rulers of the Rainforest", which included three museums in the same number of European countries: The Drents Museum in Assen, The Netherlands; the Historisches Museum der Pfalz in Speyer, Germany; and the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ), Spain.

Effigy Vessels

 
 
Since very early times, Pre-Columbian artists explored the human figure. They observed movements, postures and features that were later expressed in sculpture and ceramic pictorial art. Another way of representation stood out throughout the Mesoamerican region: ceramic vessels, and containers made of other materials, endowed with facial and body expression. Within the portable objects category, these have been a source of inspiration since antiquity.
