12 pt. font, double-spaced) Discuss the theme of rulership in the imagery of Classic Maya stone sculpture at Tikal, Copan, Palenque, Piedras Negras and Yaxchiln. As you construct your essay, consider the following: How are Maya rulers portrayed in sculpted images? What themes associated with ruler-ship can be detected at the various sites and how are these themes depicted in stone sculpture? What earthly and supernatural roles and responsibilities of Maya rulers are suggested by these images and thematic representations? Support your discussion with specific examples of works required for the final exam; be sure to discuss at least one sculpture from each of the five sites. ( I will provide photos on copan because the file is too big and information of the mayan sculptures)
