What it's about?
Here is an excerpt from a band used to decorate a prehispanic piece of "Copador" style created during the late Classic period (600-800 AD) in the Mesoamerican southeast. Its referes to a priest in a seated position, wearing his ceremonial clothes. It is admirable the simplicity of this decorative style used by the ancient Mayan craftsmen, devised with rustic instruments and colors coming from minerals and natural materials.Despite its simplicity, the lucidity of its lines makes clear the decorative idea and the transmission of a message related to ceremony and beauty in art. Much could be said of this style widely diffused in the region in ancient times. Archaeologists at Blueprinted Education see these strokes as an exceptional way to embellish and animate the simple things of the environment devised by the Mayan experts.
This beautiful and stylized art is based on a real prehispanic vessel sheltered on a private collection in San Salvador, El Salvador.
