Stela H in the main plaza of Copan. The
costume is the trellis patterned jade beaded skirt, considered
to be a female outfit. Here it is worn by the king of Copan. Why
this particular outfit was assumed by male rules is still a mystery.

To get these photographs FLAAR sent a photography
crew to Honduras with a complete portable studio. With a Linhof 4x5, Wisner
4x5, several Hasselblads, Leicas, and a complete Dicomed-Better Light
digital scanning camera, Nicholas Hellmuth and Andrea David did exhaustive
photography in both museums.
This photography was aided in all aspects by IHAH
and Professor Oscar Cruz. We appreciate the assistance of the Hotel Marina
for providing a courtesy room in their annex.
