Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, Guanacaste/Nicoya region, ca. 900 to 1400 CE. A hand-built pottery jar with a spherical body, a flared rim, and a trio of conical legs. The 'handles' protruding from either side resemble highly abstract frog heads - each with bulging eyes and recessed sockets, tapered noses, and incised mouths - and dozens of ring-form appliques are indicative of frog eggs. The vessel exhibits a lightly glazed presentation. Size: 9.2" W x 7.9" H (23.4 cm x 20.1 cm).
