Komkom Vase

The Komkom Vase is an ancient painted Maya vase featuring one of the longest hieroglyphic texts found in the Maya Lowlands. It was discovered in 2015 at the Maya archaeological site of Baking Pot in Belize and dates back to the Terminal Classic period in Maya history. It is notable for being written during the last decades of centralized rule in the Lowlands and was most likely used as a drinking vessel by a ruler of Komkom, an ancient Maya kingdom that has not yet been located.
