- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
Pre-Columbian, Southern Mexico to Guatemala, Olmec, ca. 800 to 550 BCE; Maya, Late Classic Period, ca. 550 to 800 CE. A fine gathering of hand-built pottery bowls from two distinct cultures which inhabited similar areas of ancient Mesoamerica at different times. First is an Olmec blackware pottery bowl with a flat base, tall walls bearing a trio of raised spirals, a shallow basin, and a flared rim. Dozens of radiating striations line the bottom of the basin, and the exterior surfaces - save for the base - exhibit a lustrous black pigment. Next is a Maya bowl with a slightly concave base, flaring walls, a deep basin, and a flared rim. The yellow-slipped bowl has a signature band of dark-red pigment along the interior rim, and the exterior displays a register of three stylized monkeys with sinuous arms and curling tails, each chasing after a small ball. Size of largest (Maya): 6.5" W x 3.25" H (16.5 cm x 8.3 cm).
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA
