Maya bowl from the Ulua Valley of Honduras, ca. 400 - 800 A.D. This choice polychrome example is 8-1/4 in diameter and features a trio of seated lords separated by black panels, perhaps intended to signify the entrance to the Underworld. The rim band consists of simple glyphic symbols characteristic of the regional style, while the interior is covered with a bright orange wash enhanced with resist painted linear décor. Even the underside is painted in blood red over orange slip. Ex Tribal Treasures Gallery. Value range: $750 - $1000.
