A polychrome-painted vase of the Late Classic Maya culture with figurative depictions, 6th - 7th century A. D.
Broad vase in beige clay with a ring stand, above which its low, curving belly shows a distinctive break, followed by a high, conical neck with two horizontal registers. Red-primed ring stand composed like metopes with vertical, dark brown lines, above which the red-primed belly is painted with horizontal, dark brown lines. The two horizontal registers are framed within dark brown double lines, above which is the red-primed top section, the rim once again dark brown. In the wider, lower register are two identical pictorial spaces, featuring a decorated, crouching warrior on the left and a mythical creature opening its maw on the right. Four image fields separated by vertical line bundles in the narrower upper register, all of which show the same human face in profile. Height 22 cm, maximum width approx. 17 cm. Slight spalling on the painting, otherwise well preserved vessel of the Late Classic Maya period.
Includes a thermoluminescence expertise dated 1994, confirming the age of the vase.



Provenance: From a private collection in North Rhine-Westphalia, acquired at a French gallery in the early 1990s (comes with the gallery's inventory card and corresponding photographs).
