Read THe Mayan Princess and Journal of a Mayan Princess to understand the importance of the KILN to the emerging Mayan people under the Spanish rein of terror.
The Kiln is as large as a small house. See Lynae standing next to she is dwarfed by its size.
These are the styles of the original Kilns brought by the Spaniards with the conquistadores in the 1500's.
The Mexican village women hand shape and paint the many products to go into the kiln for sale in the market place.
Intricate artistic renderings hold their color when fired at amazingly high temperatures in the kiln.
Double click for a close up of the back ground pieces ready to paint and present to the kiln.
