Ancient Mayan Glyph Symbol

This artwork presents a three-dimensional rendering of an ancient Mayan hieroglyph alongside a numerical symbol, set against a dark background. The red glyph on the right is identified as the 'Pop' glyph, which holds significance in the Mayan calendar and is often associated with the mat, representing community, authority, and the beginning of cycles. To its left, a Mayan numeral is depicted, consisting of one bar (representing five) and three dots (representing three), combining to signify the number eight. The textured, almost carved appearance of both elements evokes the rich sculptural tradition of Mesoamerican civilizations.
