As a follow up to the series of recent photos I have posted showing some signs around town, here is a photo of the central portion of a gate on the grounds of the Tamarindo Diria Resort. The logo of the hotel, which is a pre-Columbian figure, is incorporated into the center of the gate.As is evident from my commentary yesterday in which I mentioned the decline of the Native American population in Spanish colonial times, the remnants of pre-Columbian culture in Costa Rica is not great because of the huge decline of the Native American population under Spanish rule.
In addition, the Mayan Civilization that left stone temples and artifacts in other areas of Central America did not extend as far south as Costa Rica, although some remnants of its influences have been found. In my opinion, the Tamarindo Diria's logo seems to reflect a Mayan-influenced theme.
I like the pre-Columbian art on the gate. Nice touch.

I love the design on the gate. The Diria logo is very creative.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you. It does have a Mayan look.
ReplyDeleteVery nice metal work. Nice design for a gate.
ReplyDeleteI like the Mayan inspired design, but it could have been much better if it did not look like an after thought. The idea was good, but the execution was poor.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. I also like how they used two kinds of metal for the gate. Very striking.
