7th Century Maya Vase

About the Item

A large ceramic cylindrical vase of the Maya culture, Dzibanché, Quintana Roo, Mexico Classical period, 550 to 950 AD. Its black glaze accentuates the gadrooned flanks which form a repetitive linear decor. Three circles are incised on the neck and on the lower part of the container. Incrustation remains on one side and small restaurations on 2 flanks. Both only contributing to the esthetic of this piece. Intriguingly its form is reminiscent to predynastic Egyptian vases as well as contemporary art. This timeless objects measures 21.5 cm high x 10.5 cm diameter. For similar vases see Maya, Venice, 1998, page 567, No. 234. This item was bought at Antwerp auctionhouse Bernaerts in 2018 and previously in a private Belgium collection. It is accompanied with a TL certificate from Ralf Kotolla nr. 049102-39, dated 18-04-1991 included at the end of the included pictures.
