Antique, Peruvian, Shipibo-Conibo Tribal, Polychrome Pottery Bowl
$185.00
This unique piece is a hand-crafted pottery bowl, which was hand formed by a member of the Shipibo-Conibo tribe of Peru. These people represent an indigenous population (currently numbering only about 20,000) who live along the Ucayali River in the Amazon basin east of the Andes.
The artwork of this nation is representative of the vibrant and rich history of the peoples of the Amazon Rainforest. Using local clay and natural pigments the pottery is hand formed without use of a wheel. After forming it is painted with labyrinthine geometric motifs, originating from the tribes' shamanistic religion and culture.
Likely dating from the 1950's or earlier, this bowl stands approx. 4 inches tall, the lip is approx. 7 inches in diameter, the base is approx. 2 1/4 inches in diameter. This lovely bowl would make a great addition to any collection of South American Pottery. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
