Ulúa-style Vases
Late Classic (A.D. 600 - 900)

The pre-Hispanic peoples that populated the area known today as Honduras developed distinctive artistic styles among them marble vases and Ulúa-style pottery. The marble vases, carved with relief motifs, were highly valued and have been found as part of funerary offerings of important tombs throughout much of the Maya region. Equally prized were Ulúa-style ceramics, painted with a variety of mythological figures and geometric designs. Often both the inner and outer surfaces of the vessel were painted. These vessels are widely distributed throughout Guatemala's eastern highlands.
