Vase with Palace Scene

Polychrome vase (black, red, and orange on a cream background) with slightly convergent walls and flat base. It features the Primary Standard Sequence framed in red. On the exterior wall, inclined decorative bands with circular elements and volutes appear against a black background, along with interlaced elements outlined in red, which have been interpreted as representations of “bones” (Nicholas Hellmuth, pers. comm.). NAA indicates the western portion of the Belize River Valley (Buenavista area) as the place of origin or manufacture; however, this is a style frequently associated with Pusilhá, Belize (Barbara Kerr, pers. comm.).

Vase with Primary Standard Sequence

Polychrome vase (Orange, Red, and Black), with curved convergent walls and a flat base, decorated with two panels separated by vertical red bands. Each panel features a left-profile anthropomorphic figure with open eyes, aquiline nose, speech scrolls, and an open mouth. Both figures appear to be dressed in raptor bird costumes, from whose open beaks their heads emerge (possible warrior attire). Each panel includes a horizontal glyph band and a secondary vertical text with red glyphs outlined in black. NAA of the paste indicates the origin or manufacturing area as Tikal, Petén, likely from a workshop serving the elite.
