Pre-Columbian, West Mexico, Guanajuato Valley, Chupicuaro, ca. 800 BCE to 200 CE. A striking pottery bowl with two anthropomorphic heads on each end. The vessel is an ovoid shape, and sits on a rounded bottom with buff walls swelling upward and a russet pigment applied from the shoulder to rim. The stylized faces have exaggerated noses and simple dome-shaped heads facing inward across from each other. The necks are perforated on both sides, perhaps for suspension. The heads represent humans, possibly primordial, ancestral beings. Chupicuaro is recognized as a center for Mesoamerican ceramic making and for their fine forms and decorations. A fabulous example of Chupicuaro pottery with beautiful colors and figures! Size: 5.8" L x 3.75" H (14.7 cm x 9.5 cm)

Provenance: ex-private St. Petersburg, Florida, USA collection; ex-private collection, Arkansas, USA, 1960's
