Published by Yale/Peabody Essex Museum, 2010
ISBN 10: 0300161379 ISBN 13: 9780300161373
First printing. 328 pages. Our conception of the ancient Mayans has often been defined by their preoccupation with royal bloodlines and ritual human sacrifice. Drawing on recent archaeological discoveries and developments in deciphering Maya glyphs, Daniel Finamore and Stephen Houston present a revisionist reading suggesting that water and the sea had a paramount influence upon the arts and culture of the Maya. Among the 100 color illustrationsâ"many 12 x 9 1/2 inchesâ"are a trumpet made from a conch shell, engraved stingray spines, a pottery vessel whose lid is a god paddling a small boat, and a brick with a grinning crocodile in bas relief. New cloth bound in dust jacket.

Accompanies the exhibition of the same name organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts, on view from March 27 through July 18, 2010; and traveling to the Kimball Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, from August 29, 2010, through January 2, 2011; and the Saint Louis Art Museum from February 13 through May 8, 2011. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates. "Maya art and hieroglyphs constitute one of the world's most fascinating, visually striking, and complex systems of expression. Most scholarly interpretations of Maya art and culture have emphasized that this ancient civilization was oriented toward inland centers and preoccupied with the blood of royal lineage and ritual sacrifice. Drawing on recent archaeological discoveries and developments in deciphering Maya glyphs, this groundbreaking volume presents a revisionist reading that shifts the emphasis of interpretation to the mythic power of the sea as the basis of a larger, deeper cultural narrative and history for the Maya. Surrounded by the sea in all directions, the Maya viewed water as a source of both life and danger. Through the artworks presented--including acknowledged masterpieces and many never before exhibited in the United States--readers will gain a new appreciation for water's influence on Maya cosmology, its role in their interpretation of the supernatural, as well as its impact on Maya cross-cultural contacts, trading practices, and power dynamics. Essays by prominent scholars provide an interdisciplinary context for understanding Maya art as well as new interpretations of traditional iconography and symbolism. Accompanying a monumental exhibition comprising almost 100 artworks ranging from carved stone monuments to delicate jade sculptures, this compelling, richly illustrated publication will fundamentally transform the interpretation of Maya art." - Publisher.
