| Publisher Description: Rewritten and updated to include the discoveries and new theories from the past decade and a half, this classic guide to the art of the ancient Maya is now illustrated in color throughout.

With an array of new material, including the newly found La Corona panels, Waka' figurines, and the Dz'ibanche' staircase; studies of the monuments at Palenque, Zotz, and elsewhere; and paintings discovered in recent years; this new edition will be essential reading for students and scholars--and for travelers to the cities of this mysterious civilization. |
