Smiling Horny Toad Lizard Mimbres Replica

This is a delightful reproduction of a prehistoric design by the Mimbres tribe now passed into extinction (circa 200 – 1150 AD). The subject is of a Horny Toad Lizard with a body of diminishing concentric rings. The design is repetitious with cascading circles which complements and harmonizes with the shape of the round bowl. The Mimbres artists were masters of design and this mastery is very evident in this artistically orchestrated creation. The bowl was replicated not so very far away from where it was originally crafted in the southwestern deserts of North America. It was hand constructed, painted with homemade yucca brushes, and wood fired in an earthen pit. These tradition techniques have rendered the bowl’s surface with rich fire clouds and a pleasing smoky patina.  Thank you for looking.
