Ceramic plate, 'Maya Warrior's Ritual'

Kneeling, a Maya warrior makes an offering. A privileged member of society, the man sits crosslegged on cushions and wears an elaborate beaded pectoral necklace. Quetzal feathers adorn his headdress, and hieroglyphs attesting to the historic occasion surround the image. Ernesto and Erik Basilio create an extraordinary decorative plate, with faithful reproductions of images from the stucco reliefs in Yaxchil�n, Chiapas. The father-son team presents the signature piece on a pinewood stand.
