Miniature Tripod Vase 

This is a miniature tripod vase, a ceramic vessel on three legs, crafted by Aztec artists. The vase's distinctive red-brown body, with its black rim and incised white lines, exemplifies the artistry of the Aztec civilization. Its small size suggests it may have been used for personal or ritualistic purposes. The vessel is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. While the precise date of creation is unknown, it likely dates back to the pre-Columbian era (c. 1300-1521), providing a glimpse into the artistic expressions of this ancient Mesoamerican culture.
