Description:

United States, Washington DC, ca. 1975 CE. A large folio of "Classic Maya Pottery at Dumbarton Oaks" by Michael Douglas Coe and published under Dumbarton Oaks Trustees for Harvard University. A great reference for Maya art: a folio collection bound in a hard cover red cloth lined slipcase that contains an inside pocket for the soft cover 30 page booklet with photos and illustrations of Maya pottery and iconography with text by Coe. Opposite the booklet is a pocket with 16 loose leaf plates by the artist Diane Griffiths Peck printed on thick cardstock which "unroll" the images from the cylindrical vessels onto paper in planar form in order to view the iconography in full. These are excellent reference pieces that could also be framed to display! Size of folio cover: 12" L x 0.5" W x 17.75" H (30.5 cm x 1.3 cm x 45.1 cm); plates: 16.8" L x 11" W (42.7 cm x 27.9 cm)
