"Mary Miller vividly takes the reader into the art of one of the world's most enigmatic ancient civilizations. From temple to tomb, she explains how and why the Maya made their greatest works and how the modern-day viewer might come to understand them. New archaeological discoveries at Copan, Tikal, and Palenque are all included, and the author draws on recent decipherments in Maya writing to provide new interpretations of Maya sculpture and ceramics."--BOOK JACKET.
