[Aztlan] Walking on stilts

[Justin Kerr]

There is one palace scene, K8947 where a masked dancer on stilts accompanied
by musicians moves before a seated ruler. There is also a scene in which an
acrobat balances on a ladder (K413).

Subject: [Aztlan] Walking on stilts

I’m looking for any information about pre-contact Maya walking on  
stilts.  I know of one reference in the Popol Wuh (Tedlock trans. Pp.  
132).   Can anyone point to others, please?  Has anyone published  
anything that mentions stilt walking?
Thank you for any help,
Grace Bascopé

Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) wrote of the inherent beauty of all  
creation and warned of the dangers of indifference and injustice to  
nature.  She coined the term, viriditas, or green truth.  A woman with  
wisdom for our age as well!
