The Maya had a sense of beauty that was quite different from ours.  They shaped the skulls of their newborn children by tying boards to the forehead. They admired a forehead that sloped back.

Slightly crossed eyes were considered beautiful. An object would be dangled in front of their eyes to try to create crossed eyes.

The Maya wore many different forms of jewelry.  Jade jewelry was the favorite.   Jade was worn in beads, earrings, and ear spools.  It was also one of the materials that the Maya traded.  The Maya also wore gold.

The Maya had tattoos and would pierce their bodies. They would put body paint on themselves for special occasions. They even decorated their teeth. First, they filed their teeth to make them pointed, and then they put jade in holes in their teeth.

For clothing, men wore an ex, which was a loincloth (a cloth that covered as much as a small bathing suit). Women wore loose, sack-like dresses. The clothes of the priests and nobles were made with finer materials and had many shells and beads on them.  For ceremonies, they wore wonderful headdresses.
