Description
Introducing 'Treasures of Mesoamerica' Collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing treasures of Olmec, Mayan, Aztec, Toltec, Zapotec and Mixtec cultures of ancient Mesoamerica. Mesoamerica is a region and cultural area in the Americas, extending approximately from central Mexico to Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica, within which a number of pre-Columbian societies flourished before the Spanish colonization of the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries. Here you will find framed and wrapped canvas fine art prints, featuring Altar 5 from Tikal - Mayan Nobles performing Reburial Ritual (on Black and Red Leather).
The ancient Maya civilization was a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya peoples, noted for Mayan script, the only known fully developed writing system of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as for its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. The Maya civilization developed in an area that encompasses southeastern Mexico, all of Guatemala and Belize, and the western portions of Honduras and El Salvador. This region consists of the northern lowlands, encompassing the Yucatan Peninsula, the highlands of the Sierra Madre, running from the Mexican state of Chiapas, across southern Guatemala and onwards into El Salvador, and the southern lowlands of the Pacific littoral plain.
A twin-pyramid complex or twin-pyramid group was an architectural innovation of the Maya civilization of ancient Mesoamerica. Five of the nine twin-pyramid complexes at Tikal had been recorded. Tikal Group N (also known as Group 5C-1) lies between Tikal Temple IV and the Bat Palace. It was built in 711, according to the hieroglyphic text sculpted on Stela 16 in the group. Stela 16 is paired with Altar 5, they are among the finest examples of sculpted monuments surviving from Tikal; both of these monuments are located in the northern enclosure. Altar 5 bears the sculpted image of two nobles on its upper face, one of these is probably Jasaw Chan K'awiil I. They are performing a ritual using the bones of an important woman.
