Q: Hello - would the formulation of this and the other Mayan pigments be "similar" to what the Incas of Peru possibly used? Admittedly an unusual question, but I am planning a painting of Machu Picchu based on a photo my son took. Authenticity is beckoning! Thank you for your advice.

Asked by: Chris - 8/13/2017

A: While we can't vouch for how similar the formulation is, we can probably state that there is no other pigment out there that would be more similar.
