Maya Polychrome Vessel with Warrior

307
This painted Maya vessel (600–900) depicts a warrior identified by his belt, painted ornaments, and dynamic stance. His raised arm and the complex glyphic background suggest participation in a ceremonial act, perhaps invoking divine presence or signaling speech, a common motif in elite courtly vessels.
