| A beautiful Maya figural vessel from El Salvador, ca. 600 - 900 AD. This 6-1/2" high "Reinita" (Little Queen) jar is adorned with the traditional headdress, ear ornaments and elaborate necklace. She depicts a princess and the object in her mouth represents a piece of jade, which would be placed in the mouth as part of the burial ceremony, indicating that this vessel was a funerary object belonging to a deceased individual. Traces of rare blue paint remain. Small chips to either side of the headdress, else in fine shape and showing nice mineral deposits. | ||
