This is a lovely, boldly-colored tripod bowl produced by the Nayarit culture of ancient western Mexico. The cultures of Pre-Columbian west Mexico never built the massive archaeological structures of their eastern neighbors, but their ceramic tradition rivals anything contemporary in the Americas. Like many tripod bowls, this one originally would have had small pebbles or bits of clay in the legs so that it would rattle when shaken.
AGE: 300 BC - 300 AD CONDITION: Intact with substantial mineral deposits. There is one 3/4" nick to the outside rim and some flaking of the surface on the opposite side and one leg, all of which is shown in the enlargements. DIMENSIONS: |
