In 'Time and the Ancestors: Aztec and Mixtec Ritual Art', Maarten Jansen and Aurora
Pérez present new interpretations of enigmatic masterpieces from ancient Mexico. Combining
iconographical analysis with the study of archaeological contexts, historical sources
and living cultural traditions, they shed light on central symbols and values of the
religious heritage of indigenous peoples, paying special attention to precolonial
perceptions of time and the importance of ancestor worship. They decipher the meaning
of the treasure deposited in Tomb 7 at Monte Albán (Oaxaca) and of artworks such as
the Roll of the New Fire (Selden Roll), the Aztec religious sculptures and, last but
not least, the mysterious chapter of temple scenes from the Book of Night and Wind
(Codex Borgia)
