This chapter compares the 16th-century Yukatekan configurations with patterns of production and distribution of Classic period decorated ceramics that also link prime cotton-producing regions to major centers of political power. The data intimate that cotton and cloth were crucial components of Classic period exchange networks underlying political power. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach combining investigations of artistic style, ceramic paste chemical analysis, epigraphy, and archaeology.

The structure’s upper façade was decorated with an elaborate polychromed and modeled stucco pictorial narrative. A preliminary analysis indicates that the narrative places the rulers of Lamanai within the political and religious ideological systems of the Late to Terminal Classic Lowland Maya. This paper presents the archaeological context of Structure N10-28 and its stucco façade, ancient demolition history, and a hypothetical reconstruction of the original narrative.

From ancient Valdivian figurines and vessels dating back to 3500 BC to Inca and Aztec objects created just before the Spanish explorers landed, a rich array of works from ancient Latin American cultures is represented here, all from the Jimmy and Leonora Belilty collection. Spanning 50 centuries and covering the vast geographic expanse from southern Peru to northern Mexico, this collection presents a remarkable survey of ancient art. There are images of gods, portraits of men and women, representations of animals and plants and objects of pure abstraction. Jade, gold, clay, stone, wood, bone and shell objects reveal the wide variety of materials used by pre-Columbian artists. Assembled with an aesthetic eye and personal passion by collectors deeply familiar with modern and contemporary art, the selection is sufficiently...
