A gorgeous Maya polychrome bowl from the Tikal area of Guatemala, ca. 550 – 700 AD. It is 7” in diameter and is decorated with a variety of geometric designs, including two representations of woven mats, which were symbols of authority. I especially like the subtle pinkish-purple shading used in several sections. A superb example, with strong paint, mineral deposits and root marks, pitting on the interior and just a minor repair. See Peter Schmidt "Maya", pages 573 & 646, for related examples. |
