View translationMayan Terracotta Potion Bottle. 300-700 AD. 6,2 cm H. With Spanish Export License.
No. 92830985
Poison or Potion Bottle.
Mayan.
300-700 AD.
Polychromed terracotta
6.2 cm height and 7.5 cm width.
PROVENANCE:
- Private collection, S., Dijon, France. Acquired in the 1980s.
CONDITION: Good condition, one fece central zone restored.
The small jars with relief or painted decorations are a typology developed in Maya art during the Late Classic period (600-900 A.D.), for the use of the elites. No larger than the size that fits in the hand, their forms are very varied, including some figurative ones that reproduce mythological characters, animals and objects. Referred to as venom flasks or veneneras, medicine, tobacco or pigment bottles, they have been related to specific contents and a use analogous to that of other similar North American vessels has been suggested. Although they are known to have been used to contain tobacco and other dry or powdered substances, their function was broader, as can be deduced from the richness and complexity of their decoration, which often includes inscriptions, and they have often been found in grave goods.
Notes:
- The piece includes authenticity certificate.
- The piece includes Spanish Export License.
- The seller guarantees that he acquired this piece according to all national and international laws related to the ownership of cultural property. Provenance statement seen by Catawiki.
