Vessel with Diving God, Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico, or Belize, Post-Classic Period, 1000 – 1250 CE
On Wednesday, October 11, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, join Kislak Center Curator Dr. Carol Damian for a virtual talk entitled Mysteries of the Maya Diving God.
The Diving God remains a mysterious figure, although he appears frequently in the art of ancient Mesoamerica. Dr. Damian will plunge into the mysteries of the Diving God, his symbolic meanings, and the beautiful vessel that bears his likeness in the Center’s Jay I. Kislak Collection of the Early Americas, Exploration and Navigation.
