    Description

    Veracruz Mold Made Bowl

    Veracruz
    C. 600-800 AD
    Burnished Pottery
    2½" Tall x 7" Wide

    The flaring offering bowl is decorated with three molded panels separated by two vertical columns, each panel with multiple imagery. The interior, with a smoothly polished orange while the exterior has a red band surrounding the rim. One panel depicts a long beaked bird with plumes on the back of the head, the wings extended and open, while it stands upright. While viewing the same panel in a vertical direction, the same image becomes a massive Chac head consuming the bird in perfect mirror image either way one looks; and when viewing the panels with the bowl upside down, becomes a massive frontal serpent deity with open mouth and plumes over the head. The unique panel shows a man in a 'swimming pose', one arm extended before him and flowing plumes behind. Vessel is expertly repaired from several pieces with one stable hairline and appears wonderful.
