Miniature Pedestal Bowl 

This Aztec ceramic bowl, created between the 1300s and 1521, is a beautiful example of pre-Columbian artistry. Crafted from terracotta, the bowl features a simple, elegant form with a wide, rounded base and a flared lip. The surface is adorned with subtle, incised designs, showcasing the skill of the Aztec artisans. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece provides a glimpse into the daily lives and artistic traditions of this ancient civilization.
