- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Michoacan, ca. 1200 to 1500 CE. A polychrome tripod rattle leg bowl, extensively decorated throughout with stylized geometric motifs and linear patterns inspired by textile designs as well as the natural world - all delineated in earthy red, cream, and black hues. The interior walls present two four-legged zoomorphic creatures with square heads and expressive visages comprised of wide open round eyes, broad noses, and toothy grimaces staring at one another from opposite sides of the bowl - perhaps engaged in a face off! Between them are stepped and other stylized geometric motifs, below is a register or stepped and spiral motifs, and all encircle a red tondo. The exterior walls present rectangular panels with snake motifs amidst striated, dotted, stepped motifs and more. The three hollow rattle legs are also nicely decorated with broad red and cream designs. This painstakingly painted decorative program graces nearly every surface, embellishing both the bowl as well as the rattle legs. Size: 7.875" W x 4.75" H (20 cm x 12.1 cm)
Provenance: private Colgate, Wisconsin, USA collection acquired 1970s to 1990s
