O soše
A head hovers over two outward-bent knees on Carved Stone Vessel, made in 700–1000 by eastern neighbours of the Maya and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Related heads appear frontally or in profile, with a leg near the mouth. On the main panel, a human figure stands beside each leg, an uncommon feature on such vessels. Several motifs combine across the exterior, but their meanings and the vessel's function remain poorly understood. On view in gallery 233, Mesoamerican and Intermediate Region.
Slovy muzea
This stone vessel, made by eastern neighbors of the Maya, is one of the finest and largest of its kind. On the exterior are several motifs that combine to create an unusually complex design that features a grotesque head, either in profile or front-facing, with a leg near its mouth. In the main panel a frontal version of the head hovers over two legs, the knees pointed sharply outward. Beside each leg is a lively human, rarely seen in such works. Little is known about the motifs’ meanings or the vessel’s use.
