Mayan Pottery Jar with Twin Saurian Heads

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Classic Maya, modern day Honduras, ca. 250 to 900 CE. This is a pinkish-white slip painted pottery bowl (on a darker red volcanic clay) with a figure eight design around its body and twin saurian heads as small handles on either side. It is likely that this piece was made by potters hoping to mimic the alabaster bowls favored by the Mayan elite; this bowl would most likely have belonged to someone who would today be considered "aspiring middle class". The saurian heads have delightful large eyes. Size: 6.25" W x 3.2" H (15.9 cm x 8.1 cm).

Provenance: Ex- Miami, FL collection acquired before 1980.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.

Condition

The piece has been repaired but now appears largely intact. There are two minor chips to the rim. There is dirt staining and wear to the slip.
