Anasazi/Mimbres Hummingbird Replication Bowl
Native to the prehistoric Southwestern Americas the now extinct Mimbres culture is best known for their brilliant abstraction of the natural world they prolifically painted on small ceramic bowls. Their exquisite art was all but lost in the ashes of time except for a few authentic pieces now displayed in museums or small private collections. This reproduction bowl depicts a swarm of hummingbirds franticly competing for the nectar of a single bloom. It is a depiction of a synergy of wings, long bills, and tail feathers all coming together in a fantastic visual symphony of fine art that may have easily been forever lost in the endlessness of time. This replication vessel was handcrafted, painted, and wood fired in a dirt pit. It is rich with fire clouds and although a replication appears as an authentic artifact from an extinct culture. At Starling Black Studio our mission is to preserve the archeological arts by creating realistic appearing replications of original artifacts from extinct prehistoric cultures. If you love archeology and have an appreciation for the rawness of primitive art, then I believe you will not be disappointed with our efforts to replicate, “Humming Birds and Bloom” for it appears to be authentic appearing in almost every way.
