| This 2 15/16” tall orange-ware ceramic jar (AJC100), known as a ‘poison bottle’, dates into the Classic Mayan period, c.300-900AD. Embossed on both of the circular side panels with the seated image of an unidentified Mayan god, the bottle is intact and in overall good condition with a couple of minor nicks on one edge and base. A light fire cloud covers 1/3 of one of the side panels, and though the image is somewhat hidden in the photo, it is still distinct when held in the hand. From a local collection, this treasure comes with a small display card, a map of Meso-America highlighting the area dominated by the Maya during their Classic Period, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity. | ||||||||
