Maya Bowl with Celestial Serpent

This Maya bowl (600–900) features a stylized celestial serpent, a sacred being linked to the heavens, rain, and creation myths. The undulating form and glyph-like framing suggest cosmological significance, with the red, black, and cream tones reflecting elite ceremonial ware used in feasting or ritual offerings.
