Spiritual Oil Painting from Guatemala, "N'oj Glyph"

The religious syncretism that pervades in Guatemala inspires this oil on canvas by Hermelindo Mux Yool. "N'oj is a Maya glyph that represents wisdom," explains the artist of Maya descent. "According to our calendar, on N'oj day all the elders and spiritual leaders get together to make the important decisions that would bring benefits to the society." The antique glyph appears nowadays along with a cross and a saint.

Titled "Glifo N'oj" in Spanish.
