This book records a history of color use among the ancient Maya, who flourished in and around the Yucatan Peninsula from prehistoric times, perhaps as early as the second or third millennium BC, until the Spanish Conquest, at which time they found ways to survive by the million until the present. The book deals with a subject that has yet to be studied systematically despite the riches at hand. Many thousands of Maya pots display a record of color that hints at many other lost works in perishable media. A smaller number of murals supplement such evidence, along with the vestiges of color on buildings, wood, jade'even the tones of a natural world that envelop the Maya people today'in colors mimicked by painterly skill. Hieroglyphic texts and dictionaries of more recent vintage fill an important gap by telling us how the Maya spoke (and wrote) about color.
