| Description |
Balamkú, fresco in Structure I Balamku is a small Maya archaeological site located in the Mexican state of Campeche, within the Petén Basin. It features elaborate plaster facades dating to the Early Classic period. It has one of the largest surviving stucco friezes in the Maya world. Balamku was first occupied from around 300 BC. Its most important buildings date from AD 300–600. The most outstanding discovery so far at Balamku is an almost intact 16.8-metre long painted stucco frieze dating from AD 550–650. Structure I is located in the Central Group. Excavations of an earlier substructure (Sub I-A) have uncovered a stucco frieze stylistically dated to between the 4th century BC and the middle of the 6th century AD, although radiocarbon dating of the lintel of the structure returned a date of 631 AD ± 30 years. The frieze was first uncovered by looters and was fully excavated under the direction of INAH. The complete frieze measured 16.8 metres long when excavated and stood 1.75 metres high. The frieze combines imagery of rulers with that of a sacred mountain. The frieze preserved almost intact; it is protected by roofing. (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balamku) |
