Item Details
Description
Pre-Columbian, Mayan Territories, Mexico, ca. 550 to 950 CE. A handsome bowl with steep walls and intriguing designs/pseudoglyphs painted in chocolate brown on red ground. The form stands on three button-like feet that elegantly elevate the body of the piece. The two pairs of drilled holes are actually indicative of ancient repairs. To fix a crack, the Mayans would drill holes on either side of the crack and use leather straps to fasten the piece. Size: 3-1/2"W x 7-1/4"H.

Provenance: Ex-private Santa Monica, CA collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
