Chilam Balam of Mani
Artista: No identificado
México
Colección: Chilam Balam de Maní
This image from the Chilam Balam of Mani features a stylized representation of the sun, surrounded by crosses and flanked by inscriptions in Mayan and Spanish. The pencil drawing, with its simplicity and symbolism, aligns with the nature of Mayan manuscripts, which often combined visual elements with sacred and calendrical texts. The dates 1780 and 1920, along with text mentioning "Judgment" and "God," suggest a fusion of Mayan and Christian worldviews and its use as a historical or prophetic record.
