The z-angle pre-Columbian feasting bowl was created by Mayan Indians. It is nearly 1800 years old, dating back to 200 to 600 AD and was likely looted from a grave.
"Artifacts like this represent the people of Belize and the region's ancient cultural history," said Carlos Maza, deputy assistant director for ICE's Homeland Security Investigations' (HSI) Office of International Affairs. "The bowl is precisely the type of treasure that ICE's Cultural Property Art and Antiquities Program was established to identify, investigate and return to its rightful owners."
