Design Motifs of Ancient Mexico by Jorge Enciso (2004, Package)

For a designer of strong graphics with an ancient Middle American flair, this is a trove of inspiration. To see is to have the imagination and creativity engaged.

Although it is primarily a catalog of ancient motifs, it contains over 760 vigorous, powerful, stark designs from pre-Columbian clay stamps made by Aztecs, Maya, Zapotecs, Toltec, Olmec, Mixtec. Depictions of serpents, gods, priests, dancers, florals, geometrics, more.

There is only a brief text which identifies motif and location of origin.
