Arte Xibalba
508-454-2850



$1200 

An excellent Maya polychrome tripod bowl from Honduras, ca. 500 - 900 AD. It is 6-7/8" in diameter and features an Underworld motif with stylized serpents, interspersed with woven mat designs, which indicate the elite status of the owner. The chevron rim band is an unusual design element for ceramics from this region, as it is typically found on Chama pieces from Guatemala, although the upper rim décor is a traditional southern Maya jaguar spot pattern. Perfect.
