| A classic Maya cylinder from Jutiapa, Guatemala, ca. 500 - 800 AD. This exceptionally large vase is 10-3/4” high and 6” in diameter. It has the characteristic glyph band below the rim, which is beautifully highlighted with cinnabar and probably refers to usage as a cacao vessel. The long body of the vessel is decorated with ribbed vertical panels that retain remnants of stucco and red paint. Overall an impressive example with nice dendrites, root marks and a stabilized stress crack. Displays impressively. | ||
