M2-2-251 A very large Mayan cylinder cup from the southern lowlands of Guatemala. This fine cup stands an impressive 10 1/2 inches tall with a 5 inch diameter and is painted red leaving two vertical orange panels at the midsection. A well made vessel with strong mineral deposits, only slight wear, a fire clouded area to one side, and some normal surface erosion at the base. Such large cups are scarce to find intact, and this one suffers from breaks to the lower half and is cleanly reconstructed from two large halves and around 8 smaller well fitting shards. An attractive example. Guatemala lowlands, c. 400-900 A.D. $450.00 |

JC206 A fine Mayan apple green jade pendant with relief carved seated chief wearing plume headdress, coffee bean eyes, large ear flares, hands held against chest in ceremonial rulership gesture, and loin cover below. Highly polished and well crafted with suspension hole behind head. 2 1/4 inches long, 1 7/16" wide. A wearable beauty of choice stone! Peten region of Guatemala, c. 600-900 A.D. $2,450.00 Property from a private New York collection, imported legally in 1960's. |

M2-6-131 A large impressive Teotihuacan style incense burner from the southern lowlands of Guatemala. The two part ceremonial offering vessel features an hourglass shaped base for holding the burning incense offerings while upper half served as a chimney with large loop handles to sides. The dome shaped interior comes to a restricting round holding area then terminates in a flaring release for the smoke. An interesting shape not often seen and this example is rare for being only reglued and having all original, unretouched paint in red, white, and yellow. One rarely sees such pieces without heavy restoration or lacking all original paint. This very decorative vessel stands 19 1/2 inches tall with a diameter at the center of 10 1/2 inches. Both parts reglued from original pieces and missing only a few very small shards which is quite a rarity to have so complete. Southern Lowlands of Guatemala, c. 200-600 A.D. $3,500.00 Property from a private U.S. collection, imported during 1950's-60's |

M2-3-197 A very nice southern lowlands of Guatemala Maya utilitarian jar. This solid, intact vessel sits 4 inches tall with a diameter of approximately 4 3/4 inches and holds a beautiful burnished surface covered in light mineral deposits, nice patina, and with only one small trowel nick. Such vessels would have been burial offering containers for the afterlife. Guatemala, c. 200-600 A.D. $100.00 |

M1-189 A wonderful large stone idol of a dragon headed zoomorph. He stands erect with short snouted lizard like face, deep inset eye sockets for inlays, human ears with small earflares, round ornaments on top of head along with short horn in middle and fanning headdress behind. Wears collar tight against neck and a large tied knot at waist. This idol stands 23 inches tall and nearly 12 inches wide with the left arm reattached. The right arm is shaved off and missing, most likely from farming machinery; the right foot is modern replacement. Very decorative and much out of the norm deity from the southern lowlands of Guatemala, c. 300-600 A.D. $4,500.00 Property from a private U.S. collection, imported during the 1940's-1950's. |

M1-228 Scarce green stone Mayan idol carved to depict a deceased male holding arms against the chest, his head with rows of bound hair, closed eyelids, and the mouth slightly agape. Quite an atypical depiction. Such beautiful hard green, or other colored stone, usually comes from the Eastern Honduran 'Mosquito Coast' which has yet to be well investigated or mapped due to the harsh swampy and dangerous nature of the region. Carving has been ritually 'killed' on the backside with a hard strike that fractured the piece into several pieces. The three pieces here complete the torso and about 3/4 of the head. Figure is missing the lower legs and with approximately 1/4 of the head modern replacement, white water soluble fill within lines. Surface with strong polish and good patina. Comes on custom walnut mount. Postclassic, Guatemala, c. 1480-1520 A.D. Compare to item JC208, which is another portable stone idol of the identical material. $650.00 |

M2-5-301 Choice Mayan offering bowl formed with flat base and wide flaring body in smooth polished orangeware. The rim painted with red band, a bold white band incised in post-firing with abstract Chac serpent heads, and a deep brown band below. Vessel is crafted in a rare very thin pottery and is intact, excellent condition save one surface pock mark and 'rings like a bell'. Overall covered with calcified root markings and mineral deposits. A rare find considering the earthquake prone region such vessels come from. Sits 3 inches tall with 8 inch diameter. Southern Lowlands of Guatemala type, c. 600-900 A.D. $650.00 |
|
M4-195 A simple Mayan strand of small sea snail shells. Each piece measures approximately 3/4 of an inch, highly polished and drilled through the cores. All beads are intact, excellent condition and the strand overall measures 17 inches long. Southern Coast of Guatemala, c. 400-600 A.D. $85.00 |
