Anasazi/Mimbres Replication Bowl of a Fantastic Creature

“Fantastic Creature” is precisely painted in distinct Mimbres fashion. Is this a bear or a lion? The tail is of a lion, but the feet are of a bear. Maybe it is neither, but rather a fantasy creation or vision of something totally unique. This replication bowl was inspired by an actual Mimbres bowl that was created hundreds of years ago. The original was made approximately circa 1100 AD during the Classical Mimbres Period. The replication was hand constructed and painted in the traditional ways. It was pit fired with juniper wood which resulted in the rich fire clouds and a unique patina upon its surface.  It appears as an authentic artifact and would not be suspected as a replication unless further examination revealed that it was indeed so. “Fantastic Creature” was reproduced in the White Mountains of Arizona at Starling Black Studio. We strive for excellence and authenticity in all of our work and attempt to preserve and protect the prehistoric arts by offering a viable alternative solution to the collection of actual artifacts. If you enjoy the simple beauty and rawness of primitive art, then a high quality replication bowl is a viable solution. I believe you will not be disappointed in this fine bowl. Thank you for looking.
