Gravestone with Captive
Description (Dublin Core)
This sandstone relief depicts a man who has been captured. His earflares have been replaced with paper strips, reinforcing how jewelry held a strong meaning for a Maya’s status. Being deprived of ornamentation was humiliating because it was through these objects that Mayas projected their status.
