Ca. 550 to 850 AD.

Lovely decorated pottery ritual cylinder vase decorated on exterior with  a well rendered hieroglyphic inscription consisting of a ‘Primary Standard Sequence’. Body decorated with orange painted horizontal and vertical bands to imitate wood or basket weave. Overall scattered strong root marks and mineral deposits. A nice example.

The PSS identifies the vessel's type, its intended contents (often cacao or other beverages), the owner's name, and sometimes the scribe or artist who made it
