Maya belt plaques : ウィキペディア英語版 | Maya belt plaques Maya belt plaques were decorative and functional pendants worn by ancient Maya ''ajawob'' (rulers) to validate their rulership through referencing major deities and important ancestors. They can be seen as significant elements of the costumes of rulers on stelae and in other representations found in ancient Maya art. These plaques, which hung from belts, were used during rituals to memorialize important events and dates. ==Description== Belt plaques were usually carved from jadeite, which was a precious stone because of it had to be traded from the Motagua River in Guatemala, making this stone a precious and valuable material.〔Taube, Karl. (2005). p. 23〕 On one side of the plaque was a beautifully decorated ruler with a left-facing profile and on the other side was a double-column hieroglyphic inscription explaining the significance of the plaque. They display rulers on their inauguration, important calendar dates and ancestral and deity worship.〔Stuart, David. (2010). p. 291, 293.〕
