Description
Pre-Columbian, Mayan-Teotihuacan, Tiquisate Type, ca. 600 to 800 CE. An elegant, monochrome tan terracotta cylinder standing on three squared legs, the body and legs presenting mesmerizing molded designs. On the body on either side are two large panels, each with a central niche depicting a human face of an elite personage, extensively bedecked with a nosering, a headdress, ear spools, and a noded collar - flanked by two figures standing in profile, each one bearing a speech glyph. The legs are also adorned - abstract geometric motifs gracing their surfaces - with the remaining surfaces of the vessel a burnished light orange. Simply stunning. Size: 6.125" W x 7.5" H (15.6 cm x 19 cm)
