Anasazi / Mimbres Polychrome Bat Bowl Replication

Sold out
US$95.00

Up for your consideration is the replication of a Mimbres Polychrome Bat Bowl. The now extinct Mimbres Culture (circa 200 to 1150 A.D.) is best known for the wonderful pictures they painted upon small to medium sized ceramic bowls. A popular theme was that of the bat. Several different varieties and styles of this subject have been recovered from historical sites and ruins. This reproduction bowl is a copy of one of those renditions.  The piece is painted in polychrome and has rich fire clouds and a smoky patina due to the wood firing process.  At Starling Black Studio, we strive to make realistic appearing replications from bowls of antiquity.  Authentic artifact bowls are few and extremely expensive if you indeed can find one for sale. Most of us must take a long road trip to a distant archeological museum to even see these pieces of prehistoric fine art. If you love archeology and have an appreciation for the rawness of the primitive arts, then I believe you will not be disappointed with the acquisition of one of our pieces.  Thank you for your view and consideration of “Polychrome Bat Bowl.”
