The Cleveland Museum of Art (organizer) (November 26, 1963-January 5, 1964). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: The major offerings placed in the Maya graves of Jaina Island were ceramic figurines, some of Mesoamerica's finest, that depict deities and humans in a variety of roles. This warrior, his headdress removable, once probably held weapons and wears either quilted cotton armor or the feathered uniform of a military order. We don't know why such figures are often pot-bellied. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS The Cleveland Museum of Art. Handbook of the Cleveland Museum of Art/1966.
