Lot 4499 | Polychrom figürlich bemalte, zylindrische Vase der spätklassischen Maya-Kultur, 7. - 9. Jhdt. n. Chr.
Polychrom figürlich bemalte, zylindrische Vase der spätklassischen Maya-Kultur, 7. - 9. Jhdt. n. Chr.
Zylindrische, handgeformte Vase aus orangefarbenem Ton. Auf der Außenseite polychrome Malerei mit geglätteter Oberfläche. Zwei gleichartig angelegte, rechteckige Bildflächen mit knienden, vorwärts gebeugten Kriegern mit reichem Federschmuck auf dem Kopf, getrennt durch zwei Register mit je drei Maya-Glyphen. Bildflächen und Glyphen-Register durch schwarze Doppellinien eingerahmt. Die weitestgehend gleichartig gestalteten Kriegerbilder unterscheiden sich durch die Haltung der nach vorne ausgestreckten Hand. Auf einem Bild zeigt die Hand nach oben über eine zylindrisch geformte Vase mit durch Punkte angedeutetem Inhalt (Opfergabe?), auf dem anderen Bild fehlt die Vase und die Hand zeigt nach unten. Höhe 14,5 cm. Durchmesser 15 cm.
Ausgesprochen attraktive Vase der Spätphase der klassischen Maya-Kultur mit nur geringfügigen Abplatzungen, die das Gesamterscheinungsbild der künstlerisch hochwertigen Keramik nicht beeinträchtigen.
Provenienz: Nordrhein-westfälische Privatsammlung, erworben 1992 in einer französischen Galerie anlässlich der 500-jährigen Wiederkehr der Entdeckung Amerikas. Original-Prospekt mit Abbildung der Vase liegt bei.
A polychrome, figuratively painted, cylindrical vase of the Late Classic Maya culture, 7th - 9th century A.D.
A polychrome, figuratively painted, cylindrical vase of the Late Classic Maya culture, 7th - 9th century A.D.
Cylindrical, hand-formed vase in orange-coloured clay. Polychrome painting with a smooth surface on the outside. Two similarly arranged, rectangular scenes with kneeling warriors, bent forwards, wearing lavish feather headdresses, separated by two registers, each with three Maya glyphs. The pictorial spaces and glyph registers framed by double black lines. The almost identical images of the warriors are distinguished by the gesture of the hand being extended forwards. In one picture, the warrior's hand points upwards over a cylindrical vase with dots indicating its contents (a sacrificial offering?), while in the other picture, there is no vase and the hand is pointing down. Height 14.5 cm. Diameter 15 cm.
Exceptionally attractive vase of the late phase of the classical Mayan culture with only minor spalling, which does not affect the overall appearance of the exquisitely artistic ceramic piece.
Provenance: From a private collection in North Rhine-Westphalia, acquired in 1992 at a French gallery on the 500th anniversary of the Discovery of America. Original prospectus with an illustration of the vase is included.
