- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to northern Central America, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. An attractive and highly-burnished brownware cache vessel of an interesting cylindrical form supported by a quartet of nubbin feet. Both sides of the exterior bear an intricately incised panel of thick vertical bands which narrow in the center, intersect, and enlarge laterally once again, with a pair of offshoot projections and a pair of abstract geometric forms in the corners, and dense latticework patterns filling the empty spaces in between. The sloping shoulder bears a less-meticulous register of triangular and intersecting linear motifs, and two curved suspension handles join the flared rim, which is designed to hold a lid, to the shoulder. A wonderful example covered in lustrous brown slip and traces of red cinnabar within the incised decorations. Size: 7.25" W x 7.25" H (18.4 cm x 18.4 cm).
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
