| A fine Maya tetrapod plate from Honduras, ca. 600 – 900 AD. This lovely polychrome example is 9-1/2” in diameter and stands on four legs executed in the form of tapir heads. The heads are hollow and contain rattles. The piece is completely covered with orange slip, which is enhanced with red wash and red linear design elements. The design in the center of the plate is obscured by heavy dendrites. Intact, with strong mineral deposits and a small ancient rim ding. | ||
