Maya Polychrome Jar. An excellent Maya polychrome jar from the Ulua Valley of Honduras, ca. 500 - 800 AD.

The two sides of the chamber reflect the male-female duality motif and the elongated neck is decorated with a rim band of jaguar-headed birds. Intact, with vivid paint, good mineral deposits and just a few spots of minor surface deterioration. Ex Tribal Treasures Gallery..
