Animated GIF of a QuickTime VR object

 

This is potentially the first animated GIF QTVR object movie of an ancient Maya artifact broadcast on the Internet. The figurine shows a Maya ballplayer with the special padding to keep the hard ball from injuring or killing the athelete.

Photographed with the permission of the Museo Popol Vuh, Universidad Francisco Marroquin, Guatemala City. Photographed with a KAIDAN Magellan 1000 Object Rig.
