This is a reinterpreted drawing of a drawing I did of a drawing someone else did of a carved lintel someone did many hundreds of years ago.Or, to simplify,Way back in the 8th century this cool cat (his name's Jaguar, get it, haha) ruler of the Maya city of Yaxchilan commissioned this lintel of himself performing a Flapstaff Dance. Well, he's not really doing the dance in the carving, but he's got the costume on. You can see the original carving as well as the drawing, done by Ian Graham here So I made a drawing of the drawing Mr. Ian Graham did (I tried to just use the stone, but the picture wasn't that good) to get a feel for the costume, trying to get it fairly accurate. You can see the drawing I did, as well as a fuller explanation of who Yaxuun Bahlam was here , at my MesoWorks blog, where I explore various Mesoamerican topics with ART.From that drawing I did I tried to make a 'realistic' version of the costume, with varying success. Overall I like it, but the perspective is weird and I think I'll do some things differently next time. I kind of got lost in that headdress.--- MesoWorks : a blog exploring the art, people, and history of PreColumbian MesoamericaWant your name written in Maya hieroglyphs?
