Resumen
- español
En este artículo se ofrece el primer análisis iconográfico sistemático de la escultura arquitectónica hallada en Mundo Perdido, un área ritual situada en la gran ciudad maya de Tikal, Guatemala. En términos cronológicos, el estudio se limita a la escultura producida entre los años 100 a.C. y 550 d.C. Puesto que el análisis presentado es eminentemente comparativo, se establecen paralelos con otras formas artísticas encontradas en Tikal y en otros lugares de las Tierras Bajas mayas = Excavations carried out at the Mundo Perdido area of the Maya city of Tikal, Guatemala, uncovered some interesting examples of architectural sculpture dating from 100 B.C. to A.D. 550. Although already published in printed form, these sculptures were still awaiting an in-depth study in iconographic terms. This article thus represents the first systematic, comparative iconographic analysis of the representational imagery embodied in this sculptural genre; in such analysis, special attention is paid to other art forms and visual configuration found in Tikal and elsewhere in the Maya Lowlands
