in this book (Figure 47, however, does show a Nahua Tzitzimitl with a serpent between her legs). Nevertheless, in aworld in which awoman likely completed her childbearing years in her late thirties or early forties and could become a grandmother at the age of 32, grandmothers would have been formidable characters—still sexually active, but in mature and powerful ways that revealed male vulnerabilities. By arraying mythic narratives from all over Mesoamerica and examining their “goodness of fit” with scenes depicted on Maya Preclassic murals, Classic period pottery vessels, and—to a lesser extent—Postclassic codices, Chinchilla Mazariegos takes us on an open-ended exploration of Mesoamerican ontologies and embedded constructs of moral authority and existential dangers. Revealing a rich and varied knowledge tradition, Art and Myth of the Ancient Maya is written in a manner that is accessible to undergraduates, and it should be read by every student of Mesoamerica. One wishes, however, that Chinchilla Mazariegos hadmoderated his stance against synthetic interpretation by composing a final chapter that returned to the common themes underlying his superpower-equipped nodal characters and their extraordinary adventures. Printed on glossy paper with hundreds of high-quality color photographs and black-and-white line drawings, the hardbound edition is priced accordingly—which dampens its potential utility for undergraduate and graduate courses inMaya archaeology, art history, folklore, or myth. Hopefully, a paperback edition will soon be available.
