Ancient vase

Description:	Maya civilization, spreading through southeast Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, reached its height around A.D. 300–900, known as the Classic Period. The Late Classic Period of Mayan culture produced some of the best artwork, including ceramics in many forms, functions, and colors. The Mayan’s used various images from mythology to decorate their ceramics, especially on vases. Dating from A.D. 550-950. and in poor condition, this particular vase features hieroglyphs that probably record an event. The vase also has a figure that is too faded to identify.
