Horned toad bowl c. 100 - 250

This "Horned Toad Bowl" is an example of the ceramic artistry of the Nayarit culture, dating back to 100-250 AD. The piece is made from clay and features a naturalistic depiction of a horned toad, with intricate details like its spiky skin and bulging eyes. The bowl's brown glaze and worn texture suggest the passage of time and its historical significance. This vessel, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as a testament to the artistic traditions and cultural expressions of the ancient Nayarit people.
