These below are photos of mayan art work in the form known as cancuens. They are round pieces which are 3D instead of being two dementional.
There are many different catagories of mayan sculpture and mayan art work in general. Some different catogories of mayan sculpture are the stelas, lintels, and the altars. This photo below is an example of stelas.
Many years ago wood carving mayan art work was highly common. However, Spanish colonial authorities began destroying these carvings causing very few authentic pieces to survive today.
I really like your blogs, they have detail and pictures. I just wish they had more pictures. :)
