Parque Nacional Tikal, Department Petén, Guatemala Museo Sylvanus G. Morley: Cylindrical vase Late Classic (600-900 AD) Unknown |
Comments: This cylindrical ceramic vase depicts the scene of the au- dience: a high dignitary, sitting cross-legged on some sort of platform that serves as a throne, receives the homage of his subjects. Notice the elaborate headdress - definitely the high social status indicator. |
