• MAYA POTTERY CYLINDER VESSEL W/
  MAYA POTTERY CYLINDER VESSEL W/ STUCCO & INCISED DESIGN...Pre-Columbian, Mexico and northern Central America, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. A gorgeous pottery vessel presenting a cylindrical body with inward-curving walls and a circular rim, all sitting upon a flat base. Boasting an intricately incised decorative program, the exterior of the vessel is adorned with a block glyph design in low relief with 2 large square glyphs decorating the body and an additional band of glyphs sitting just below the rim. Lovely remains of white stucco embellish the areas below the band and surrounding the 2 larger glyphs. Size: 4.4" Diameter x 7.1" H (11.2 cm x 18 cm) Scholars posit that the Maya offered cylinder vessels as diplomatic gifts, and many were used to serve and drink the traditional cacao (chocolate) beverage. In Maya art, tall cylinders like this one are presented in scenes depicting the preparation of the cocoa drink that was extremely popular with the Maya. Large cylindrical vessels like this were placed on the ground, and the drink was poured from smaller vessels above to create a frothy mixture. These ancient glyphs decorating this vessel may convey an important date, a secret message, or simply be part of the vessel's aesthetic program. According to Dorie Reents-Budet, "One of the remarkable characteristics of Classic Maya painted pottery is the use of writing as more than simply a way to communicate ideas. As in the Islamic tradition, Maya artists employed calligraphy as a prime design feature and as an integral part of the total composition… The hieroglyphic texts also were used as compositional devices, placed specifically to help define the internal tensions, balances and divisions within the pictorial field."

• MAYA CYLINDER - JAGUAR / SMOKING
  MAYA CYLINDER - JAGUAR / SMOKING GODS, EX KERR**First Time At Auction** Pre-Columbian, Guatemala, Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 900 CE. An exemplary pottery cylinder vessel, finely painted with scenes of sacred rituals, glyphs, and geometric motifs. On one side, a jaguar god sits before a chief wearing an elaborate feathered headdress. The royal gestures toward the zoomorph who projects a speech bubble from his mouth. On the opposing side, another chief sits with a smoking god, perhaps a dwarf, both dressed in loincloths and prominent headwear with 3 glyphs between them. The band of text surrounding the rim likely dedicates the vessel and designates its use. A fabulous example of Maya ritual and iconographic tradition! Size: 5" Diameter x 8.1" H (12.7 cm x 20.6 cm) Known as the "king of beasts" in the Pre-Columbian world and infamous for possessing high speed and massive strength, the jaguar was believed to dominate nature and inspire respect and awe throughout the ancient Americas. Jaguars were associated with strength and leadership, whether regarding spirituality or martial skill. Warriors, rulers, hunters, and shamans alike associated themselves with this King of Beasts, the largest and most powerful feline in the New World whom they viewed as their spirit companion and protector. According to a dramatic narrative in the Popol Vuh, the protective hero twin Xbalanque, possessing a zoomorphic phenotype with jaguar skin, fought the monster macaw Vucub Caquix with his twin Hunahpu, and the hero twins defeated the monster. Residue analysis on vessels like this one show that they were used for drinking chocolate, a hugely popular and ritual practice amongst the Maya, especially the elite. Although we know little about the artisans who made vessels like this one, we do know that cylinder jars are often associated with tombs, sometimes ritually broken. Prominent Mayanist Michael Coe has connected the scenes depicted upon the most important of these vessels with the sixteenth century Maya written epic, the Popol Vuh, which describes Maya religion and mythology, as this one does. According to Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education scholars Dorie Reents-Budet and Ronald Bishop, "Today, when high-profile foreign dignitaries visit the White House, they can expect to attend grand dinners and to receive gifts, often custom-made by the best artists in the country. The gifts honor the visitor and showcase the giver's fine taste. In the days of the Classic Maya (A.D. 250-900), state-level gift-giving was little different, and no gift reflected more meaning or artistic expertise than the painted ceramic vase. Twenty years ago, the hieroglyphs, images, and even origins of these extraordinary vessels were little known. Now, advances in decipherment and chemical technology have made these vases invaluable for exploring the economic, political, and social exploits of the Maya. The vases, used both to serve food at feasts and as gifts presented at such events, were created by highly skilled painters who had mastered the intricacies of Classic Maya religious mythology, ideology, and history, and used hieroglyphic writing as both communication and visual poetry. Artists were highly regarded and often members of elite families."

A gorgeous pottery vessel presenting a cylindrical body with straight walls and a circular rim, all sitting upon a flat base.
