Veracruz Pottery Incensario Bust of Royal / Deity

Item Details

Description

Originally listed at $1,800...

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Veracruz culture, ca. 6th to 8th century CE. An impressive pottery incensario boasting the bust of a figure, likely a royal or deity, depicted heavily adorned in a pair of beaded necklaces, a sizable nose ornament, and a headdress with projecting side flaps. Facing forward, his angular visage displays a heavy brow above generously-lidded eyes, a broad nose, fleshy lips, and a pointed chin. Rectangular projections, each with 3 horizontal spikes flank the figure, resembling the wings of a bat, while curved handles of the incensario extend outwards behind him. Size: 11.8" Diameter x 6.5" H (30 cm x 16.5 cm)

Incense played a major role in religious practice in Mesoamerica, from the Olmec period onward. Incensarios have been found in many tombs of the region, and scholars believe they were used in ceremonies by the living. Incense was made from copal, tree resin from the torchwood tree. By burning copal, Mesoamerican priests made an offering to the gods. For example, we know that during an Aztec ceremony for the god Huitzilopochtli, the hummingbird god of war, priests hoped that their prayers would be carried upward along with the wafting smoke and scent.
