Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Costa Rica, Guanacaste-Nicoya Peninsula, ca. 600 to 1100 CE. A finely hand-built, two-piece hemispherical terracotta incensario, the lid adorned with a most impressive demon lizard effigy perched atop, its tail acting as a handle, its feet perched upon a vented chimney that allows smoke to flow freely, the form with a footed base, the lid and base further decorated with numerous sharp nodes perhaps intended to represent the texture of the lizard's skin. A wonderful piece and rare to find a complete incensario! Size: 9.5" W x 11.75" H (24.1 cm x 29.8 cm)
