Detail of a Maya Vessel with the Rebirth of the Maize God in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2022
Title: Vessel with the rebirth of the Maize God
Date: 7th–8th century
Geography: Mexico, Calakmul, Campeche
Culture: Maya
Medium: Ceramic, pigment
Dimensions: H. 6 1/8 × W. 4 5/8, 14.143 oz. (15.5 × 11.7 × 4.5 cm, 401g)
Classification: Ceramics-Vessels
Credit Line: Museo Nacional de Antropología, Mexico City, Secretaría de Cultura–Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia
Accession Number: SL.2.2022.13.6
Reclining on his back with arms and legs bent, the Maize God adopts the conventional pose that artists employed to depict babies. In this variation of his aquatic rebirth, he emerges from a cleft head, possibly representing a seed. Below, tadpoles swim in dark waters. The vessel was left as an offering in an elite tomb at the powerful city of Calakmul. Its decoration, evoking the Maize God’s death and rebirth, provided an optimistic model for the death and afterlife of rulers.
