The authors show how this powerful cosmology informed some of the greatest creative achievements of Maya civilization, represented here from the monumental to the miniature through more than 140 works in jade, stone, and clay. Thematic chapters supported by new scholarship on recent archaeological discoveries detail the different types of gods and their domains, the role of the divine in the lives of the ancient Maya, and the continuation of these traditions from the colonial period through the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metropolitan Museum of Art New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588397317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244","brand":"Joanne Pillsbury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42406043812021,"sku":"9781588397317","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bd6c0f19-f9bd-46b5-a349-e73de4304fee.jpg?v=1664285510","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lives-of-the-gods-divinity-in-maya-art-9781588397317","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
