EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Glyph of the city of Copan on the Hieroglyphic Stairway, dating back to the Late Classic Period (600-900) around 760 AD. Created by Mayan artisans in Copan, Honduras, Central America, this stone carving depicts the emblem glyph of Copan - a bat's head. The Hieroglyphic Stairway itself is an architectural marvel adorned with over 2,200 glyphs that narrate the rich history of the Late Classic dynasty. As we gaze at this three-dimensional masterpiece captured in stone, we can imagine ancient rulers sitting upon these very steps. The level of detail and craftsmanship evident in this artwork is truly remarkable. Each glyph tells a story and offers us a glimpse into Mayan civilization during its heyday. The carved figures on the staircase add depth and life to this historical scene. As we explore this image further, it becomes clear that it represents more than just a photograph; it symbolizes our connection to Mesoamerican culture and pre-Columbian civilizations like never before. This piece serves as a reminder of their ingenuity and artistic prowess. Jean Pierre Courau has masterfully preserved this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of such archaeological treasures.
