Ceramic plate, \'Maya Warrior\'s Ritual\'
Kneeling, a Maya warrior makes an offering. A privileged member of society, the man sits crosslegged on cushions and wears an elaborate beaded pectoral necklace. Quetzal feathers adorn his headdress, and hieroglyphs attesting to the historic occasion surround the image.
Maya ball player
Surrounded by hieroglyphs, an ancient ball player demonstrates his skill and strength. The player's ability to manipulate and move the ball into stone rings, without the use of hands, was played to honor the gods with skill.
Ceramic plate, \'Gray Maya Governor\'
Seated crosslegged, his erect bearing lends force to his words. The governor of Palenque gesticulates with graceful hands as he speaks. Quetzal feathers adorn his elaborate headdress, and hieroglyphs attesting to the historic occasion surround the image.
