Hand Crafted of a Man Riding a Bull

In Very Good Condition with 1 Broken Leg

Mayan pottery from the Pre-Columbian era (roughly 2000 BCE to 1500 CE) represents one of the most sophisticated ceramic traditions in Mesoamerica. The Maya, centered in present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador, produced vessels and figures that served utilitarian, ritual, and elite purposes. Common forms include cylinders (vases), bowls, plates, and effigy figures depicting humans, deities, animals, and mythological scenes. These were hand-built from local clays, often tempered with additives for durability, and fired at low temperatures. Elite pieces, especially from the Classic period (250900 CE), featured polychrome decoration with slips in red, black, cream, and later orange or purple hues, illustrating narratives from Maya mythology, court life, and cosmology.
