      abstract = {Miller takes the reader into the art of one of the world's  most enigmatic ancient civilizations. From temple to tomb,  she explains how and why the Maya made their greatest  works. New discoveries at Copán, Tikal, and Palenque--to  name but a few--are included, and the author draws on  recent decipherments in Maya writing to provide fresh  interpretations of Maya sculpture and ceramics. Chapters on  Maya architecture and the materials of Maya art set the  stage for discussions of the sculpture of different time  periods and regions, the famous murals at Bonampak, the  dramatic new findings at Cacaxtla, and the painted Maya  ceramics of the first millennium A.D. The author has  organized the material in new ways, considering the nature  of the human form in Maya art, for example, and the role of  the hand-held object.--From publisher description.},
