This little jar is a beautiful example of Mesoamerican pottery, decorated with red and white slip clay in the style of Chupícuaro ware. The olla vessel has a wide, globular body with a rounded base, constricted neck, and flared lip. The exterior is decorated with a charming pattern of dotted circles resembling a floral or botanical motif. Beautifully aged with a rich patina and pitted wear, this petite olla is an exquisite example of Pre-Columbian artistry.

Minor wear to slip finish.
