Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Central America, Costa Rica, Potosi Applique 600 - 900 CE. Crocodile effigy incense burner or incensario of large form constructed in two parts with a large conical basin base and similarly shaped lid with a pierced zoomorphic handle on top depicting a highly stylized beast like a crocodile or lizard.

The applique pellet design varies across the Potosí type, with shapes ranging from spikes, to rounded " lumps ", to raised circular " O " shapes. Potosí Applique was manufactured and used in both the northern (Nicaragua) and southern (Costa Rica) sectors of Greater Nicoya. Size 13 1/2" H x 10 1/2" W
