Description
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Michoacan, ca. 1350 to 1521 CE. A fabulous hand-built olla with a planar base, a gradually-widening body, a large rounded shoulder, and a tall flared rim. The highly-burnished vessel is covered with a red-orange slip and adorned in a dense decorative register of white-painted geometric details in circular, zigzag, linear, stepped, spiralized, and tendril-form motifs. The majority of the inside of the spout is colored and burnished in a similar manner as the exterior, though the interior of the olla body is unadorned. Size: 6.75" W x 7" H (17.1 cm x 17.8 cm).
