The Fenton Vase, from Nebaj,Guatemala. Late classic period, 600 - 800 CE. Polychrome ceramic vessels were a symbol of status and power for the Maya and are found as offerings
in rich burials. The scene on this vase represents the delivery of tribute to a seated lord. Above the basket presented to him are six hieroglyphs giving his name and titles. Their jewelry, clothing and spangled turbans adorned with flowers suggest the persons are members of the elite.
Ethno, 1930-1
