Title: Código Maya: Excerpts from the Codex.

This artwork is part of my collection titled, "Luminarium: Cosmology, Celestial Mechanics & Eschatology", a series exhibited as a whole, at the Latela Gallery in Washington D.C. This artwork was inspired by the Mayan codices (singular codex), folding books stemming from the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. These codices were written in Maya hieroglyphic script, on Mesoamerican bark cloth. The Mayan codices contain information about astronomy, astrology, divination, rituals, magic, numerology, calendars, and shamanism, which reflect the Mayan peoples understanding of time. The names of the codices indicate where they are housed. Only three of these Mayan manuscripts survived the organized book-burnings of Franciscan missionaries, following the Spanish Conquest.  These are:

 

• The Dresden Codex also known as the Codex Dresdensis
• The Madrid Codex, also known as the Tro-Cortesianus Codex
• The Paris Codex, also known as the Peresianus Codex

 

Certificate of Authenticity Included.
