From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1999/00 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Pre-Colombian America is a highly complex civilization. Its founding myth suggests a system of opening drawers, whereby nine gods divide up thirteen heavens and organize time into several calendars which overlap. A flamboyant epoch, at all events, bursting with nobility, full of violence and majestic sophistication. Its craftsmanship astounds us. Albrecht Dürer was not far wrong when talking of their "subtle genius"

From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1994 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Maya and Actec; two great civilizations that radiated complexity. According to their cosmologies, the Earth lay between thirteen heavens and nine gods, was ruled by the four children of the original creator couple, and evolved to the rhythms of three calendars. All this intricacy inspired a level of craftsmanship that brought joy to the soul of the great Albert Dürer in Brussels, in 1520, and that still satisfies our more modest esthetic sense.
