Mimbres/Anasazi Ritualistic Sacrificial Bowl Replication

Up for your consideration is an unusual, although interesting, replication Mimbres bowl depicting a ritualistic decapitation scene. The man seated upon the victim dons a serpent style headdress with a trailing decorated sachet.  I am not aware of human sacrifice practices in this extinct culture which makes this bowl even more fascinating.  The original artifact was found on a ranch in the Mimbres Valley of New Mexico, but now resides in the University of Colorado Museum in Boulder, Colorado.  At Starling Black Studio our goal is to create realistic appearing replications of original artifacts. If you love archeology, have an appreciation for the raw unrefined beauty of prehistoric artifacts, and don’t find the theme of this bowl too disturbing, then I am sure you will not be disappointed in “Decapitation Bowl.” Thank you for looking.
