Description
**Originally Listed At $600**
Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Jalisco, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. A hand-built pottery bowl of a round but stable form with highly burnished surfaces and highly stylized serpentine creatures within the basin. The rounded exterior profile is accentuated with dozens of zigzagging stripes surmounted with a program of cresting waves. Within the basin center is an intriguing, cream-hued serpent with incised eyes and teeth that seem to follow and hunt a trio of abstract serpentine forms that course just beneath the rim. Size: 6.7" W x 2.875" H (17 cm x 7.3 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Monterey, California, USA collection, acquired around 1999
