Poor Beds of Sticks and Rings of Pure Gold
Material culture in the Canek Manuscript
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 October 2008
Abstract
The Canek Manuscript offers an unusual opportunity for examination of the material culture of the Itza Maya of the seventeenth century. The document contains information about beds, canoes, musical instruments, royal jewelry and clothing, buildings, and religious objects. We interpret the textual information in terms of its reflection in the archaeological record and in ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources.
