Translucent or “sheer” textiles are uncommon representations in ancient Maya art. Where they have been recognized, they almost exclusively are associated with females. A vase in the American Museum of Natural History in New York demonstrates translucent textiles worn by males and is perhaps the first recognized example of males wearing such textiles on ancient Maya painted ceramics. Visual inspection of the vase under magnification and ultraviolet light indicates that the original artist of the vase intended the textiles to be translucent, confirming that their “sheer” representation was intentional. This evidence adds to the limited repertoire of translucent textiles worn by males in the ancient Maya world.

研究报告

半透明或“纯粹”的纺织品在古代玛雅艺术中并不常见。在他们被认可的地方，他们几乎只与女性有关。纽约美国自然历史博物馆中的一个花瓶展示了男性穿着的半透明纺织品，这可能是第一个在古代玛雅彩绘陶瓷上佩戴此类纺织品的男性的公认例子。在放大镜和紫外线下对花瓶的目视检查表明，花瓶的原始艺术家希望纺织品是半透明的，确认它们的“纯粹”表现是故意的。这一证据增加了古代玛雅世界男性所穿的半透明纺织品的有限范围。
