Description
Burial urn of the K'iche Maya of Guatemala's southern highlands. Dated between AD 650 and 850.
Earthenware with post-fire paint. A large eared bat perches on this urn, whose body combines images of a jaguar with the spikes of the ceiba tree, the mythical 'world tree' that was pillar of the universe and conduit to the spiritual realm.
These urns held the remains of important people and were buried in pyramids or placed in sacred caves where descendents made offerings and sought advice from their revered ancestors. � at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
