Maya Skulls Cylinder

A fantastic Maya cylinder vase from the Peten region of Guatemala, ca. 550 - 700 AD. This highly burnished vessel is decorated with a series of incised skulls, portrayed laughing and showing a protruding tongue. This beautiful vase depicts an important scene from the Popul Vuh. The nodes on the rim identify it as originating in the Southern Peten region, save for a couple stabilized stress cracks it's in excellent condition, with nice deposits and root marks.
