Pre-Columbian Round Jar

With a worn finish, this round orangeware bowl is a wonderful example of Pre-Columbian pottery. The delicate bowl has a squat form and tapered lip. Painted with stokes of red slip and speckled with white etching, this jar has an aged beauty. The exterior documents centuries of use, adding rich character to its elegant form. Beautifully hand-sculpted with balanced proportions and thin walls, this bowl is an exquisite display of Pre-Columbian artistry.
