Description
Pre-Columbian, Maya, Classic Period, ca. 600 to 900 CE. This is a gorgeous polychrome pottery bowl instantly recognizable as Maya with repeated glyph-like designs around the exterior that show Quetzalcoatl - a plumed serpent figure, associated with wind. The interior is largely unpainted aside from a red ring just below the slightly flared rim; the rim itself has a narrow brown ring. Size: 7.9" W x 3" H (20.1 cm x 7.6 cm)
