The Maya people excel in the painting mainly in Ceramics, but the murals both in buildings and in caves, were also important to them, they use several vegetal as well as mineral colorants to perform their masterpieces as the brilliantly rendered murals at San Bartolo,
that constitute the most elaborate mythological scenes known for the ancient Maya. The mural is approximately 2000 years old, with more than 40 feet of this spectacular painting exposed, we are given a unique glimpse into the ancient mythology of the Maya. Other early examples of Mural painting are found in La Sufricaya and Uaxactún. They also painted their Temples in red and white, as well as the monuments. Recent investigations in the well preserved Rosalía Temple in Copán, have proved that in some buildings, the paint was mixed with Mica to make the buildings glitter in the sun, being Guatemala the only known source of this mineral in the Maya area, but it was used only in a Katún ending celebration, not in the regular maintenance and repainting. The Murals in San Bartolo and the Tombs in Río Azul are exceptional painting examples, that contain a wide range of colors, including the Maya Blue.
