Composite Tripod Bowl Date Unknown

This "Composite Tripod Bowl" is a ceramic vessel made by the Chorotega people, a pre-Columbian culture that lived in what is now Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The bowl's unique design features a wide, shallow base with three sturdy legs and a decorative band that runs along the edge of the lip, accented with abstract geometric motifs and bold lines. These motifs are common in Chorotega art, reflecting their distinct artistic traditions and symbolism.
