Stelae are monumental stones carved by the Mayan Indians in the jungles of Central America between 300 B.C. and 900 A.D. Because these priceless treasures are being looted by art robbers and are crumbling from hundreds of years of jungle weather, Joan Patten, the American artist and sculptor, set out to preserve these outstanding stelae.
On many arduous trips into the jungle, she and her crew made exact latex molds of existing stelae which are later cast into concrete or fiberglass for permanent preservation. [List of fiberglass or concrete castings] The FolkArt & Craft Exchange proudly presents the Mayan Stelae Replicas and Rubbings created by Joan Patten.
