Not your typical Mayan cylinder! Most likely from the Yucatan Peninsula, ca. 500 to 750 A.D., this example was created in reddish clay with very thin walls, base left reserved and band of decorations about upper rim in an incised, almost scraffito technique. Upper decorations include toothy deity (most likely Chac), star and corded rope symbols, against a dark background, still showing traces of white stucco in some of the crevices. 5-3/4"H, intact/generally choice throughout, save very minor surface abrasions and root marks.
