Item Details

Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, ca. 800 to 1500 CE. A hand-built bowl with a deep, red-painted basin, a flared rim, and 3 abstract avian creatures, all above a trio of tall, loop-form legs. Vessels like this example are known as chocolate pots since scholars believe the ancients drank the sacred cacao drink - similar to modern day hot chocolate - from them. Each avian creature is further adorned with dozens of petite peck marks on their heads and bodies. Size: 8.75" W x 9.625" H (22.2 cm x 24.4 cm)
