Les Masques de Jade Mayas

Elaborate funerary masks made of jade mosaics, some with inlays of other semiprecious stones, were created for the governors of important Mayan cities to insure them eternal life. Fifteen have been discovered, most of them included in this show of more than 100 Mayan objects never before shown outside of Mexico.
