Description

Hey Everyone! As I've been studying the Yucatec Maya people and I've found what I've learned interesting, but over the past three months one bowl stood out to me for some reason. The model was an interesting challenge because it wasn't just something I could make with fusion 360, but through a janky patchwork of vague photos and working with a friend on some sculpting I think the model came out great!

 

Wide-mouthed bowls or plates are believed to have been used as presentation or serving vessels. Those raised on four bulbous feet are identified with the Maya lowlands of Mexico and Guatemala in the earliest centuries A.D.  The shape is clean lined and well balanced. This type of vessel represents a considerable display of proficiency in the art and technique of the potter and was valued as a precious object at the time of manufacture.

 

I personally would recommend trying your hand at being a bit of an art historian!
