The Buenavista Vase

This tall, elegant piece was found at Buenavista Del Cayo, Belize and dates back to 600 - 900 A.D. This polychrome cylindrical vase depicts two male figures dressed as the Young Corn Gods (HERO TWINS).

The top band of hieroglyphs states that the vase was made for Lord K' ak-Til, the divine Lord of Naranjo; the fact it was found in Belize suggests it may have been a gift to the rulers of Buenavista.
