Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, Colima, & Nayarit, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A collection of 4 hand-built pottery bowls and jars made by ancient west Mexican cultures. Pottery was a crucial part of Mesoamerica - used for cooking and storage, forms were both utilitarian and ritualistic. Most west Mexican cultures practiced shaft tomb burials that contained not only the remains of the deceased but pottery vessels and figurines to accompany the owner to the afterlife- the vessels may have held food, drink, or possessions. This group is nearly perfectly preserved, possibly due to their intentional interment! Size: 6" Diameter x 4" H (15.2 cm x 10.2 cm)
