Artist's Description
I think one of the most interesting things to see at ancient sites like Chichen Itza are the architectural details. Oh, no doubt, soaring pyramids are amazing, but when you look at the little details, you're looking at the work of along ago artists and craftsmen.
This serpent has been exposed to the weather for centuries. He's likely a shadow of his former self, not just in details but in colors, but I'm still impressed by the skills of the stone carver. Look at the details, the cross-hatching to represent snake skin. How many of us today create anything that will be admired centuries from now? Never mind something that would survive the elements for that long!

Note: Chichen Itza is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site as well as having been recognized as a modern day wonder of the world.
About Mark Tisdale

My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art.
