WERE THEY ENSLAVED? A NEW LOOK AT MAYA FIGURINES

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2021 - 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Presented by History of Art and Architecture.

This lecture on Maya figurines is presented by Mary Miller, director of the Getty Research Institute. Maya figurines of the 8th century from the island of Jaina, off Yucatan, Mexico, long admired for their lifelike, poignant, and sometimes amusing characteristics, reveal a complexity of Maya practice rarely seen in other media, such as painted ceramics or monumental sculpture.
