- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico, Teotihuacan, ca. 600 CE. A most unusual bi-chrome terracotta vessel that clearly demonstrates the potter's love of geometry. The squat, rounded body is adorned by four projecting circular motifs that align with the corners of the angular bands above; rising above is an angular, trapezoidal neck marked by raised bands; and all sits upon a flared concave base. Teotihuacan pottery jars were created in a wide range of forms with various surface treatments; however, most were tripod vessels. making this example's form quite unusual. They were also disseminated widely in Mesoamerica; scholars continue to debate whether this was due to warfare or trade. A very unusual Teotihuacan pottery vessel presenting with a rare form! Size: 11.5" diameter of rounded body x 12.125" H (29.2 cm x 30.8 cm)
