Temple of the Foliated Cross


Wow so this was a bit of a challenge...my good friend Stephanie came all the way from Arizona to get some ink!! This woman is the ill Revolutionary..from holdin it down in Mexico with the Zapatistas to rockin out in the classroom with some school kids. She sent me an image of the maya, but we could not figure out where it came from...yall know me when it comes to this ..i need to research my work.. Finally after a long search we realized that it was a stone carving in the temple of the foliated cross in Palenque. It is highly decorated in native symbology and shows the ancestors heads growing from corn..This was only the first session ..shading must be added.
