Published in 1910, 'Animal Figures in the Maya Codices' by Alfred M. Tozzer is a scholarly analysis of animal representations in ancient Maya codices. The work investigates the significance of these figures in relation to Maya culture, mythology, and religious practices, focusing on the three known codices: Dresden, Tro-Cortesianus, and Peresianus. Tozzer's research, initiated by the Peabody Museum Committee on Central American Research, sheds light on the connection between animal symbolism and the Maya's calendrical and ceremonial traditions.
