- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Maya, Preclassic to Classic Period, ca. 100 to 300 CE. A large carved stone dish with a carved relief scene in the shallow interior basin depicting a striding lord wearing an elaborate headdress of twining vegetative vines. He appears to be standing upon a serpentine zoomorph. In his left hand he holds a teardrop shaped item, perhaps a celt. The exterior of the bowl is incised with a classic stepped motif. Ornate stone bowls of this type and size are quite rare and likely had a ceremonial purpose. Serpents provide a fascinating element of Pre-Columbian iconography as they were regarded to be a beneficial source of nourishment and, at the same time, venomous and therefore quite deadly. Also important to the Maya was how snakes shed their skin annually, thus rejuvenating themselves and serving as symbols of renewal and good health. Size: 11" Diameter x 3" H (27.9 cm x 7.6 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Robert Stolper collection, one of the 1950 old dealers; Acquired from Everett Rassiga, as well one of the 1950-60 dealers that acquired artifacts from East European Communist Countries Museums against foreign currency exchange; Ex Bucharest National Museum, Hungary
