Maya art of Guatemala,
Belize, Mexico, and Honduras.

We hope you like the quality of
the photographs on this page. It sure helps to have the proper
photographic equipment.
If you would like to learn how to
take photographs like this, of actual Maya art and artifacts, we have
training programs at the Maya sites and in the museums.
If you have seen this actual jade
recently, be sure to notify the Honduras IHAH because I believe this
may have been the beautiful jade which was stolen while on exhibit
in Mexico City.
