520 $aIn 1979, a Kekchi Maya Indian accidentally discovered the entrance to Naj Tunich, a deep cave in the Maya Mountains in the department of El Peten, Guatemala. One of the world's few deep caves that contain rock art, Naj Tunich features visual treasures of figural images and hieroglyphic inscriptions that have helped to revolutionize our understanding of ancient Maya art and ritual.
520 8 $aIn this book, Andrea Stone takes a comprehensive look at Maya cave painting from Preconquest times to the Colonial period. After surveying Mesoamerican cave and rock painting sites and discussing all twenty-five known painted caves in the Maya area, she focuses extensively on Naj Tunich. Her text analyzes the images and inscriptions, while photographs and line drawings provide a complete visual catalog of the cave art, some of which has been subsequently destroyed by vandals.
