Relief Cup - American Bonn Collection Series

Collected in the Bonn Collection in the Americas, the surface is coated with delicate orange and features relief decorations. There are two opposing rectangular patterns on the outer side of the cup, which are similar in design and both depict a male image and a side view of a snake. In both patterns, men are wearing a variety of headpieces, waistbands, and different forms of chains. This cup comes from Carassia, El Salvador, and belongs to the Maya culture. It is one of the collections of Mera de Fernandez Shafer.
