This is an exquisite relic, a ceramic orange-slipped bowl with a flattened base that's been skillfully adorned with a band of intricate glyphs just below the rim. Surrounding the body of the bowl, a vibrant red hue defines a series of figures outlined in bold black strokes - these include human forms and supernatural beings. This remarkable artifact was unearthed in Caracol, Belize. This object has been meticulously scanned by the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, England.
