This pottery belongs to the Maya culture, originating from the late classical period of the 7th to 10th centuries AD in Central America, the region of Nibaha. It is made of ceramic and talc, with an overall size of 16.9 x 15.3 x 15.3 centimeters. This pottery may have been used as a political gift, depicting scenes of captured prisoners after battle. The pictographic characters surrounding the edges are specifically designed for this container, used for drinking high-quality beverages made from cocoa beans. This container is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
