MAYAN RELIGION ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
Mayan artists were primarily focused on the concept of their religion and gods. Works of art often depicted scenes of human sacrifice, warfare, daily life, and other important religious rituals.
In present time, main Mayan cities have enormous, super detailed monuments and temples. These temples and monuments have mythological creatures, rulers, deities, gods, and supernatural animals sculpted onto them. Sculptors preferred to work with limestone as opposed to any other sort of sculpting materials. They also enjoyed working with clay, terracotta, and wood.
