Very nice moody artwork:

…was labelled "BIXX A BEEL MAALOB KIIN" but aside from the "Ki'in" which means "sun," not sure about the rest. Awesome carving though.

Maya Dynasty and Kingship in the Temple of the Night Sun, video talks a lot about the city of El Zotz right next to the larger, well known city of Tikal. Also talks a lot about the looting that has happened to so many ancient Mayan sites. Prof Stephen Houston.

Found this artwork, from "tello obelisk," I believe from South America. Not Mayan, but very interesting style (and a huge amount of symbollism and detail).
