- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Southwestern Mexico, probably Puebla area, Post-Classic period, Mixtec, ca. 1300 to 1521 CE. A spectacular polychrome tripod rattle bowl, skillfully handbuilt from earthenware and elaborately painted with red, black, and cream slip. Such a vessel was created for the aristocracy and used during ceremonial feasts. The decorative program is extensive and painstakingly done. On the interior we see four panels, each with geometric as well as abstract figural imagery: temples, cactus forms, wave motifs, including anthropomorphic or zoomorphic faces. Similarly, there are four similarly decorated panels on the exterior, and each leg presents a register of two identical zoomorphs in profile framed by rows of dots and linear bands. A very fine example with a mesmerizing decorative program! Size: 9.375" in diameter x 5.5" H (23.8 cm x 14 cm); 9.75" W (24.8 cm) foot span
Provenance: ex-private Probst collection, Monterey, California, USA
