Bowl with Geometric Design c. 601 - 900

This Maya ceramic bowl, dating back to 601–900 CE, showcases a geometric design characteristic of ancient Mesoamerican pottery. The bowl's simple form is enhanced by the striking red and black paint on a cream background, creating a visually appealing pattern of crisscrossed lines, circles, and ovals. The bowl is a testament to the Maya's mastery of ceramic techniques and their appreciation for geometric aesthetics. The bowl is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
