Flat base bowl c. 201 - 700

This ceramic bowl, created by the Colima culture of Western Mexico, dates to between 201 and 700 CE. The bowl is shaped as a human face, with exaggerated features and a distinctive headdress. The Colima were known for their sophisticated ceramic art, often depicting scenes from daily life, mythology, and ritual practices. The expressive nature of the artwork suggests a possible connection to religious beliefs and ceremonies, making it a compelling example of ancient Mexican art.
