Quiche Mayan burial urn iconography


Mayan skull, Museo Popol VuhArchaeologist and art historian Dr Nicholas Hellmuth is initiating a long range program to study the iconography of Quiche Maya urns.

This project has been encouraged by the Board of Directors of the Museo Popol Vuh, Universidad Francisco Marroquin.

Dr Hellmuth has been a Visiting Professor at this university for several years now. He teaches digital photography, panorama photography, and will shortly be teaching rollout photography.

This page will be updated this summer as the project moves forward. Volunteers who might wish to work on this project should send an e-mail inquiring to FLAARmaya@aol.com.

However no short-term volunteers are realistic; need to stay long enough to make a meaningful contribution. Museum personnel speak español, English, and some Deutsch. FLAAR is fully tri-lingual.

The official web site of Museo Popol Vuh is www.popolvuh.ufm.edu.gt. All inquiries related to volunteer work at Museo Popol Vuh must be addressed to popolvuh@ufm.edu.gt, or to the street address:
Museo Popol Vuh Universidad Francisco Marroquin 6a calle final zona 10 Guatemala 01010
Tel. 361- 2301, 361- 2321
