What reading level is A Sculptured Vase From Guatemala book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It A i NO. \-r ANTHROP. UBSARY 776 also resembles in concept the well-known stucco reliefs of the ruins of Palenque and the beautiful carved wooden lintels and altar plates of the ruins of Tikal. These examples, and the vase, belong to the best period of Mayan art.
The striking feature of the involved designs on the vessel are the two serpents which spread around the body of the vase in undu lating folds, the tails terminating at the back, their tips being hidden by elaborate masks of mythologi...cal personages. In the open jaws of each serpent are heads, the larger of which represents the Sun God, characterized by a Roman nose, and having a kind of helmet covering the forehead, bearing a four-lobed design, which is repeated on the protruding lower part of the eye ; it is a variant of the glyph Kin, the sun sign. Opposite is a human head in the jaw of the other serpent, evidently representing a suppliant. The motive of heads and figures in the open jaws of serpents or dragon-like figures is a familiar one in Mayan art, and is a feature of the famous Calendar Stone of the Aztecs of the Valley of Mexico.
