This red earthenware bowl, created by the Colima culture in Mexico around the 4th century, is a striking example of their ceramic artistry. The bowl's unique design features three sturdy legs and a single, prominent knob on the side. The surface is decorated with an intricate pattern of incised lines, creating a geometric design that adds visual interest to the piece. The bowl's small size suggests it may have been used for ceremonial or domestic purposes, reflecting the craftsmanship and cultural significance of Colima pottery.
