M2-2-163 A very attractive Mayan pedastal cup in solid, excellent condition. The white body decorated with incised bands at rim inpainted with red. Stands 4 1/2 inches tall with 6 inch diameter and covered in light mineral deposits and retaining strong ancient patina. Quite nice. Guatemala, c. 400-600 A. D. $400.00 |

JC208 A very interesting green stone idol, probably carved in a soapstone, depicting a humanoid figure with crossed arms, stubby legs, with a large head with deep grooved nose, mouth, cheeks, wide eyes, and hair. Backside rounded with separation at neck, arms, and legs. This piece was collected in the 1960's from an archaeologist where it was documented to be from Iximchel, Guatemala at a site dated to between 1480 and 1520 A.D. Compare to my other stone idol of a separate collection, item MP209, made of the identical soapstone material. This small votive figure measures 2 3/4 inches long and is intact, excellent condition and retains light surface deposits. $250.00 |

MP226 A highly distinct Mayan burial offering bowl in a beautiful polished brownware. The simple dish is quite an atypical style being very shallow but sizable and intact, solid, excellent condition. Bowl has wonderful patina overall, the interior slightly eroded, exterior with only a simple incised band, and measures 2 inches tall with over a 9 inch diameter. Covered in ancient deposits, it is quite surprising that such a piece could have survived the centuries. A very distinctive example and quite different from the norm. Guatemala lowlands, c. 600-900 A.D. $350.00 |

A637 A nice orange offering bowl sitting on a narrowing smooth base; the wide upper half painted in white and brown with arrow designs contained within a band while interior is painted in a more bold deep orange. Vessel sits 3 1/4 inches tall with a 7 inch diameter and is intact with several ancient chips to rim, strong patina, mineral encrustation on interior surface. Retains areas of ancient pinkish gesso that has bled into crevices along the upper half inch of the rim. Frequently, such vessels were overpainted with fragile gesso paint that would have eroded very easily. Guatemala, c. 600-900 A.D. $250.00 |

M4-189 A very rare Early Maya shell pendant carved from orange spondylous shell depicting a Siamese twin human.

Such depictions are seen in artworks from various Pre-Columbian cultures, however, are exceedingly rare. Pendant retains strong polish on front and inside while the top and backside have eroded a bit. Measures two inches long, hollow tubular in shape with a large hole at the top and a small horizontal drilling on each side for suspension. Rare. Pacific coast of Guatemala, c. 200 B.C.-200 A.D.
