- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An impressive hand-made pottery reclinatario with one side in the form an abstract zoomorph, perhaps a dolphin, a fish, or a bird, with a huge, incised eye comprised of several concentric circles. The front of the vessel is flat, though its walls bulge outwards on the verso. A hollow spout curves upward from the backside of the animal's head. Reclinatarios such as this were used by individuals of high rank to support their heads and backs when seated. This abstract type of form was perhaps to signify a metaphor for dreams which often assume surreal transitional states. In addition to this complex symbolism, the piece is a wonderful exemplar of Colima technique and styling. A set of 3 flippers project from the body and a broad tail forms part of the base; behind the slab-like zoomorphic form are two bulbous legs below the spout. Size: 7.5" W x 9.5" H (19 cm x 24.1 cm)
