Maya personages are portrayed in profile, their strong features interspersed with numerical symbols. Adorning a three-legged ceramic vessel, they figure in hieroglyphic inscriptions. A civilization with highly-developed art, architecture and astronomy, the Maya left a written record of their ancient cities in southwestern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. This exquisite replica by Ernesto and Erik Basilio tells a story of its own.
