Example reproduction of a section of the Bonampak Murals as commissioned by Professor Mary Miller and completed by artists Heather Hurst and Leonard Ashby of the Bonampak Documentation Project. The infrared images captured by this project revealed portions of the murals that were not visible to the naked eye due to erosion or otherwise destroyed by previously botched restoration attempts. In this way, Hurst and Ashby were able to create very detailed reproductions.

Bonampak is an ancient Maya archaeological site in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The site is approximately 30 km (19 mi) south of the larger site of the people Yaxchilan, under which Bonampak was a dependency, and the border with Guatemala. While the site is not overly spatial or abundant in architectural size, it is well known for the murals located within the three roomed Structure 1. The construction of the site's structures dates to the Late Classic period. The Bonampak murals are noteworthy for being among the best-preserved Maya murals.
