Narino Deer Bowl
A superb Narino pedestal bowl from the Tuza cultural complex of Colombia, ca. 1250 – 1500 AD. It is 7-1/2” in diameter, 4” high and is decorated with two pairs of opposing deer, separated by characteristic butterfly designs. Both are fertility motifs, with the figures representing the important male-female duality motif. They are surrounded by a band of monkeys. In excellent condition, with strong paint and good mineral deposits.
