Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Pre-Columbian, Maya, Guatemala/Pacific Slope, ca. 600 to 900 CE. An attractive form, this blackware cylinder boasts a simple yet elegant surface, solely adorned via spiraling ribs. A cylindrical vessel like this one would almost certainly have been used for pouring cacao drink, the most popular drink in Maya territories, into larger cylinders, thus producing a frothy foam on top that was the preferred way of serving it. Size: 4.125" W x 6" H (10.5 cm x 15.2 cm)
Provenance: collection of the late Alfred E. Stendahl, Stendahl Gallery, Los Angeles, California, USA
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 to most countries and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.
