- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, Valley of Mexico, Aztec Empire, ca. 1400 to 1521 CE. An absolutely choice ceramic vessel in the Coatlapanec style from the city states of the Atlixco area of the western plain of the state of Puebla. The bowl is perfectly round, with three rounded legs. Two applied monkey heads jut from the side of the body, which has a smooth, glossy, silver-black glazed surface over much of the interior (aside from a glossy red circle in tondo) and the same black fading to red on the exterior. The legs are glossy brown, while the monkey heads are buff. Each monkey is depicted with a big crest, deep-set eyes, and a prominent tongue protruding from its mouth. Size: 7.35" W x 3.8" H (18.7 cm x 9.7 cm)
Ozomatli, the Aztec monkey figure, was the companion spirit of the god of music and dance, Xochipilli. The monkey was associated with games, humor, dancing, music, and drunkenness - in essence, with fun. Every year on the Aztec calendar there was a communal festival to celebrate the animal and monkey bowls like this one may have been used to aid in the drunkenness.
