MImbres Fantastic Creature Bowl Replica

“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 from a photo graph of 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 bowl 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. The bowl was then abraded and stained in a variety of ways.
