Oklahoma City Museum of Art James C. Meade Friends’ Lecture presented on May 17, 2023. “Life and Death on the Island of Jaina, Maya Figurines 800-1964" Presented by Mary E. Miller, PhD, Director, Getty Research Institute Maya figurines are the most widespread, recognizable, and beloved ancient Mexican objects in American and European museums. In the 1950s, a Los Angeles art dealer looted hundreds of figurines directly from the Island of Jaina in the Gulf of Mexico and promoted them to museums and private collectors. This lecture considers the characteristics of these Maya figurines and carefully assesses the iconography and facture at the peak of island production.
