Ah Maxam (active mid-/late 8th century): Vessel of the Dancing Lords. Late Classic Maya, 750/800 CE. This vessel from the Late Classic period (600/800 CE) depicts a Maya ruler attired as the maize god in three almost-identical panels. On his back, the ruler wears an enormous rack containing brilliant feathers, heraldic beasts, and related emblems. Just as maize plants sways to and fro, the maize god dances to the rhythm of life-often, as seen here, in the company of a dwarf. Ceramic and pigment, 24 x 15.8 cm (9 1/2 x 6 1/4 in.). Ethel T. Scarborough Fund, 1986.1081.
