Cumulative facts and circumstances
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
This object was a gift of the estate of Henry Willard Lende, Jr. (1937-2016) of San Antonio TX, who left behind no records concerning the provenance of this object. SAMA accepted the object with incomplete provenance to make it publicly accessible. Most Maya painted vases are unique in their artwork, thus this piece expands the SAMA collection of Art of the Americas before 1521.
