Absolutely not!
I ordered a beautiful piece of pottery expecting something intricate and well crafted. But what did I get? A vessel that looks like it was decorated by my ten-year-old with her Crayola paint set. I wanted something with movement, something that told a story. There is no story being told. These types of ceramics are what’s left of Mayan narratives. These narratives are represented both with images, like the seated chiefs, but also through hieroglyphics. The piece that I ordered had Mayan written on it, however this one only has drawn images. This vessel is so stagnant and sloppily done, not to mention the shape is too slender, like a vase. The chiefs are also oversized and poorly drawn. What am I supposed to do with this, put flowers in it? To be fair there is enough dirt in this thing to plant a garden.
