Schele Maya canoe drawing

It's the most famous Maya representation of a canoe. This is Linda Schele's drawing of the incised bone design, showing a number of gods paddling a dugout. (Click drawing for a larger image)

Just a little inspiration for the spring Usumacinta trips.

Here's a link to the full-size drawing on the FAMSI website:

And for Constantine, the link to all the Schele archives. Make sure also to check out Justin Kerr's Mayavase Database - there's a link on the same page.
