- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Central America, Honduras, Ulua Valley, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A hand-built pottery bowl of a beautiful form with a squat, cylindrical body resting upon a trio of tab-shaped feet. The highly burnished vessel exhibits a creamy orange ground with black stripes painted within the thick rim and along the bottom of the base. The exterior walls are densely adorned with a trio of seated, right-facing figures adorned with elaborate feathered headdresses and donning red vestments, black sashes atop their shoulders, and white trousers with black spots; one figure has a large black 'tail' emanating from behind their posterior. Each figure holds one hand out to an abstract altar with a slender base, a circular 'head,' and a conical element protruding downwards towards the figures. Above the figural register is a dense register of intertwined red stripes with black spots filling the interior gaps. Size: 5.625" W x 4.6" H (14.3 cm x 11.7 cm)
Provenance: ex-Thomas A. Cox estate collection; ex-Doyle Auctions, New York, USA (October 13, 1998, lot 97)
