Hand-drawn map of Belize, showing wildlife, and the location of Mayan Ruins with hieroglyphs

Hand-Drawn Antique-Style Map of Belize

'Mundo Maya' World of the Maya.

Fine art Giclee print from my original hand-drawn map of Belize.

 

      I created Mundo Maya to show the mainland of Belize, the locations of the Maya ruins, and the wildlife found in the rainforest of Central America. It started as a companion map to my Ambergris Caye Chart but soon took off with an energy of its own and gave me an incurable archaeological bug and a deep love of hieroglyphs, petroglyphs, and pictographs.

      I wanted to know the meaning of a few glyphs to use as markers for Maya ruins scattered across the country. That quest led me to an archaeologist living and working in Belize. He loaned me reference books, and soon, I was so hooked on studying the artwork and hieroglyphs of the Maya people that I thought I'd never finish the map. At moments, I didn't want to finish it. When I wasn't studying Mayan hieroglyphs, I was sitting in the jungle or at the Belize Zoo, sketching wildlife for the map. 

      I drew the original on Arches watercolor paper, using an old-fashioned crow quill pen and a well of India ink, and layered the finished drawing with watercolor and colored pencil.

 

Technical Details:

  • Printed using quality Giclée process with archival pigmented inks and acid-free art paper. With proper care, they should look as good 100 years from now as they do today.
  • Unframed prints are shipped in a sturdy reinforced cardboard "crush-proof" tube.
  • Close-up detailed images of the map above are not individual pieces of artwork. Framed prints are examples.
  • Watermarks will not be on your print.

 

Special orders: I've listed my three most popular sizes, but larger prints and in-between custom sizes are available if you need a specific size to fill a space perfectly. This print has a 3:4 Ratio. For example, a 21"x28" or 33"x44" can be special ordered. Contact me for a quote.

 

The companion map shown in the photos is the antique-style nautical map of Ambergris Caye, Belize.

  • Size/Space/Tip

    Visualizing art filling a specific space on the wall can be tricky.

    An easy way to see if the size of the print you are considering fits your wall space is to cut a piece of poster board to size and tape it to the wall to see if it is what you need.

    If the print is on stretched canvas, it is ready to hang. However, a print on paper needs a frame, so you'll need to add inches to the width and height of the posterboard mockup to accommodate mating and framing. Example: A narrow one-inch wide frame with a standard 3-inch wide mat around the artwork would add 8 inches to the width and height. So a 15"x20" print would be 23"x28" when hung.
