You have the opportunity to bid on a ceramics offer, which is one of the most funerary items of the Maya Elite. I've been studying Maya pottery for a long time, and found out that many Maya rulers and senior Mayan officials have always taken dwarfs to the Underworld. Dwarves were seen as a companion through the underworld and could tell things before. You can find them painted on vessels, even on the walls in Palenque, so a very important person of the Mayan world. Dwarfs... made sacrifice by the people.I am glad to be able to offer you such a pottery. The figure wears a high headdress, which was normally reserved for rulers only. The figure wears an oral mask to make the sound of death audible through his breath. Actually, the character carries all the characters of a warrior or a high priest, which makes the high rank of the dwarfs clear. The details of the ceramic are very fine, the bright color probably shows the high proportion of shell limestone of jaina ceramics. Today it is known that ceramics from all over the Maya area were brought to Jaina. It is extremely interesting that the figure wears epaulets, a large jade pectoral and large ear pegs, many signs of a high personality. Presumably, the dwarf has predicted important things. Anyway, a little very fine figure and a wonderful piece of the mysterious Mayan culture. How often is not the size, but the charisma! I am even happier to tell you that the authenticity of the ceramic was confirmed by a TL test! I am even happier to tell you that the authenticity of the ceramic was confirmed by a TL test! In addition to many replicas you will find a real antique from the time of the ancient Mayan culture.
You can see a little bit that it is very important to me that you get an authentic piece and not a shit copy or replica. Thank you for appreciating real values and antique pieces like me!

Many looks old, but it is? The best way to find out is an independent laboratory substance test. For many collectors is one reason, why they don't make a test, the high price.

For me as seller is this best feeling, because I can give you a really accurately described piece and the guarantee, made in antique times, an antique artisan, from an old long ago bygone culture!Can anyone write a COA, a material laboratory test for determining the age is truly something special!
