Abstract
AbstractA blue pigment frequently found in Cuban colonial decorative wall paintings from about 1750 to 1860 has been identified with the aid of thin-layer chromatography, IR spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis as ‘Maya blue’. This is the first reported occurrence of Maya blue from a period after the conquest and in a non-Mayan cultural area.
