Cylindrical vessel of the Mayan culture, 550-950 A.D. Terracotta. Provenance: private collection of Mario Villa (1953-2021), well-known collector, artist, designer and furniture maker in New Orleans, USA. Attached thermoluminescence test.
Est: €5,000 - €5,500
Cylindrical vessel from the Maya culture, AD 550-950. Terracotta. Provenance: private collection of Mario Villa (1953-2021), a well-known collector, artist, designer and furniture maker in New Orleans, USA. Thermoluminescence test attached. Measurements: 20 cm (height). Cylindrical vase made of terracotta decorated entirely with geometric motifs, all of them polychromed in red and black. On its upper part there is a horizontal band with glyphs. Maya ceramics cover a wide variety of typologies, both for use and rituals, pieces decorated with reliefs and incised motifs, monochrome engobes or with figurative polychrome motifs, later on. The pieces were always made by modelling, as this culture did not know how to use a potter's wheel. The colours used were always engobes, with a clay base, and the vessels were fired at a low temperature of approximately 800ºC. Unlike monuments, which were intended to be seen by all, pottery enjoyed great freedom among the Maya, since it was intended for private use, whether for everyday or funerary purposes. Hence the multiplicity of decorative styles and typologies, including jars for storing essences and medicines, tableware, censers and even articulated statuettes.
