Tripod Vessel c. 200

The Tripod Vessel is a small, cylindrical vessel made of alabaster and dates back to the year 200. It features a slightly rounded base with three small, rounded feet. It is a fine example of Mixtec artistry and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The simple design of the vessel, while not overly ornate, demonstrates the craftsmanship and the use of alabaster in Mesoamerican art.
