Pre-Columbian Era, Michoacan, Tarascan style, Post-Classic period, c. 700-1500 AD, Mexico

This magnificent small-sized Tarascan polychrome pottery bowl highlights the artistry of the Post-Classic period in Michoacán. Hand-built with exceptional craftsmanship and expertly burnished, the vessel features a round base, gracefully curving walls, a thick rim, and a shallow basin.

While the red-slipped interior is left unadorned, the exterior showcases simple yet elegant red-on-beige linear motifs, complemented by a lovely ring pattern decorating the underside of the base, reflecting the Tarascan people's appreciation for geometric aesthetics and harmonious design. A stunning artifact, this bowl exemplifies the cultural and artistic sophistication of ancient Michoacán.

Excellent condition. Age-related light wear, pitting, nicks, and fading to pigment. Size approx. 11,3cm x 11,3cm x 4,8cm. 

Provenance: Dutch private collection
