Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Central America, El Salvador, Maya, Copador type, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A hand-built pottery bowl decorated with red and black pigment on a light orange ground. Within the basin is a procession of 6 turkeys, each with a large singular eye and a black body. Turkeys were a staple of the Mayan diet; however, they also symbolized good fortune; hence these birds may have been meant for ritual or daily consumption. The exterior features a register of seated figures, perhaps scribes or astronomers, who reach forward towards Ek glyphs (meaning "star") in front of them. Size: 8.8" W x 3.2" H (22.4 cm x 8.1 cm)
