Superb Mayan Polychrome Olla - Rabbit, Monkeys, Deer

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Mayan Territories, Peten region of Guatemala, ca. 500 to 800 CE. Spectacular pottery jar decorated with very rare scene of animals in human activities. On one side a rabbit plays a drum while a monkey sits to his front offering a painted vessel over a ritual cylinder. On the other side a deer holds his "hand" out to receive a conch shell offering from another monkey. Between the monkeys is a large vat that is perhaps filled with hallucinogens. Size: 7.5" W x 6" H (19 cm x 15.2 cm)
