PROVENANCE

	The figurine was accessioned into the collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute (MWPI) in Utica, New York in 1968 (accession number 68.76).  The MWPI deaccessioned the vessel in 2000, when it entered a private collection in the U.S.  The results of the Art Loss Register search are pending.

wall description:
The major Maya grave offerings on Jaina Island were ceramic figurines that depict deities and humans in a variety of roles.  The stool belongs to a seated figure who represents a male, perhaps another warrior, who wears a huge zoomorphic headdress.
