EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Mayan civilization, known as the "Large tripodal dish depicting an actor or dancer". Crafted between 600-950 AD, this painted terracotta masterpiece stands out with its intricate details and cultural significance. Measuring at a diameter of 35.6 cm, this grand plat tripod was discovered in a tomb and now resides in the Museo Nacional de Historia in Guatemala City, Central America. Its three-legged design adds to its uniqueness and serves as a testament to the advanced craftsmanship of the Mesoamerican people. The vibrant colors used on this ceramic ritual vessel bring life to the figure depicted - either an actor or dancer - whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. The plate's purpose is believed to have been ceremonial or symbolic, possibly used during religious rituals or performances. As we admire this pre-Columbian treasure captured by Bridgeman Images, it reminds us of the rich artistic heritage that thrived centuries ago. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also offers insight into ancient Mayan culture and their reverence for artistry.
