Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 100 to 600 CE. A pottery bowl hand-painted with the image of a rotund fish with a large eye. The Nazca cherished the sea as a rich source of both food and mythology, and so marine themes are prevalent on their ceramics, such as this adorable fish! Size: 6.5" Diameter x 2.5" H (16.5 cm x 6.4 cm)
