Early Maya Pottery Double Jar w/ Incised Motifs, TL'd

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, southern Mexico to Guatemala, Maya, Preclassic Period, ca. 500 BCE to 100 CE. A rare and fine example of a hand-built pottery vessel containing two conjoined cylindrical tubes with a mutual base. The broad composition shows each buffware vessel joined via the upper rim and lower base as well as deep interior cavities that perhaps held ink, pigment, or poison. Incised on the front of the righthand vessel is a glyph representing a map enclosed with a four-lobed framework and surrounded by petite circles. The front of the left-hand vessel exhibits an abstract anthropomorphic face, with a large mouth and narrow eyes, that shows a different face when viewed upside-down. Faint remains of red pigment are visible across scattered areas and allude to how attractive this was at one time. Size: 3.3" W x 3.875" H (8.4 cm x 9.8 cm)

Sample 1: BottomEstimated age: 2300 years old (+/- 400) with restoration aht 8/31/21
