Arte Maya de Ticul

The Mayans were great potters who produced one of the most beautiful ceramics in America and the world, they knew how to paint in fresco and watercolor and they were excellent sculptors who modeled with clay effigies of imponderable execution. Modeling in clay was a secular art and the figurines show the Maya as he saw himself; they are the expression of the common man and the world around them, and that is why it is their pottery that has provided the most neat information about the life of their people and especially that of their women, absent from the reliefs of the monuments. Because the Mayan pottery, like that of almost all the places where the pottery was at its archaic level - Africa or Milanesia -, was made by women, and the product of female inspiration was the design and creation of pieces of extraordinary mastery in the execution and a realistic knowledge of the form and movement.
