Mimbres/Anasazi Horny Toad Lizard Bowl Replication

This piece is a reproduction bowl of a comical and whimsical Horny Toad Lizard originally created by the extinct Mimbres Tribe that prehistorically existed in the American Southwest circa 200 to 1150 A.D. The Mimbres Culture is now best known for the pictorial representations their artists painted upon small to medium sized bowls. This replica bowl “Horny Toad Lizard” was handcrafted, painted with homemade brushes and wood fired in an earthen pit. Its surface is rich with natural fire clouds and a pleasing smoky patina rendered from the coals and ashes of the Juniper wood fire process. The piece was completed with a “Kill Hole” to release the spirit of the bowl. The bowl was then chipped and abraided to give it the appearance of a bowl just emerging from an archeological dig site. “Horny Toad Lizard Bowl” was replicated in Starling Black Studio probably not far from where the original was created. Authentic Mimbres bowls are difficult to come by and if one is fortunate enough to find one the price is often prohibitive. Replication pottery is a great alternative at a reasonable price. We make our pottery to appear as the authentic originals from only extinct cultures. If you love the rawness of prehistoric artifacts and have an appreciation for the rawness of primitive fine art you will not be disappointed with our work.
