Abstract

The article focuses on the beauty standards and practices of the ancient Maya, including crossed eyes and head-shaping. It is suggested that men wanted to look like K'inich Janaab' Pakal, based on his tomb within Palenque's Temple of the Inscriptions. Particular attention is given to Maya mythology.
