Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Guatemala, Rio Chixoy region, Maya, Chama type, Late Classic Period, ca. 7th to 9th century CE. An incredibly rare example of a Maya Chama cylinder vase due to its extremely narrow production window. Depicted is a regal seated figure bedecked in finery and feathers while extending one hand towards a column of glyphs, all beneath an enormous and dazzling headdress. Repeating registers of black and white chevrons below the upper and lower red bands are a common motif in Chama cylinders that add to their overall attractiveness. Size: 6.6" W x 6.375" H (16.8 cm x 16.2 cm)

Cf. "Creativity on the Maya Periphery: A Chama-Style Vase at The Met" by James Doyle, June 13, 2016.

Provenance: ex-Marc Amiguet Schmitt estate, Amiguet's Ancient Art, Evansville, Indiana, USA, acquired prior to January 1, 2010
