Mimbres Turtle Bowl Replica

This piece is a reproduction bowl of a whimsical turtle 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 ceramic bowls of the natural world that surrounded them. This replication bowl was handmade, 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. “Turtle Bowl” was replicated in Starling Black Studio by Starling Black in eastern Arizona probably not far from where the bowl was originally created.
