Ulúa-Style Marble Vase Project: Dissemination of Results

Group 5:  Vases Lacking Handles

Group 5 represents vases lacking handles or vases with such small handles as to make them unclassifiable. This group has the most variation in other characteristics as well. Vessel forms include bowls, drums, and cylinders; supports include tetrapod, tripod, and ring. Unique main themes include vertical panels of the mat motif alternating with dancers or profile heads.
