Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An attractive pottery vessel in the form of a wide, voluminous squash with a body that is stylistically segmented with smooth, fine vertical ribbing and a bold flaring spout. The surface was painted with deep red slip that is now covered with manganese deposits. Moreover, art imitates life in this ceramic vessel, as the indigenous of Mexico used hollowed gourds for storing and serving food and drink. Furthermore, iconographically this piece is quite poignant as squashes were symbols of fertility and abundance. A beautiful example, of a substantial size and finer than most! Size: 11.5" in diameter x 8" H (29.2 cm x 20.3 cm)
