Description
**First Time At Auction**
Pre-Columbian, Mayan Territories, Honduras, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A lovely molded orangeware cylinder of a relatively small size ideal for drinking rather than preparing the traditional Mayan cacao (chocolate) drink. The exterior walls feature three seated lords / caziques in profile, each one adorned with an elaborate headdress, beaded necklace, and waist wrap. Notice how the lords are presenting their hands out in front of them in a manner that some scholars interpret as a sign for speech. Size: 3.75" in diameter x 5.375" H (9.5 cm x 13.7 cm)
Provenance: private D. C. collection, California, USA; D. C. is an Emmy Award winning Hollywood writer and Executive Producer, collected before 2000

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
