Important Pre-columbian Maya Palenque Censer Stand

Item Details

Description

An extremely rare and important Maya Palenque Censer Stand of the god Chaac - The Maya rain god from Chiapas, Mexico, ca. 1250 A.D. Tubular body with flange on each side depicting two standing deities. The body has a full length figure incorporated into the piece which is standing on a head. He is depicted wearing a loin cloth, nose ring, and alligator headdress. Traces of red cinnabar and maya blue highlight the very detailed features of this magnificent piece.

The refined craftsmanship demonstrated in these pieces are indicative of Palenque, a major Maya city located in what is now Chiapas, Mexico. These ceramic censers were an important part of ritual paraphernalia and ceremonial life at this important Maya city. Censers were used both to represent and honor divine gods. Censers were in two parts: a stand with a tubular body that served as a support; and a brazier bowl that was placed on top of the stand and used for burning copal incense.

Provenance: Formerly from a Private Texas collection acquired from the Estate of Darlene Young Farias. Darlene was gifted this piece by her uncle Darryl Harmon who was once a dealer in Texas before he passed, who acquired it himself in 1960 in Mexico from a gallery.

26" in height.

Most of these censer stands are just faces of gods and to find one that is a full figure of a god is very rare!

TL test will be included with the piece. See last image for a scan of the first page of the TL report showing the age of the piece. The full TL test report will be included.

Condition

All lots will be sold with a COA guaranteeing the authenticity of the piece for a lifetime. All items will come with full provenance information. Condition report and provenance is available upon request. All items were legally obtained and are legal to buy and sell.
