- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Pre-Columbian, Western Mexico, Colima, ca. 300 BCE to 300 CE. An intriguing handmade redware pottery jar of an unusual form exhibiting a small circular base that dramatically widens to a double-corseted thick discoid body with a long flat shoulder, short cylindrical neck, and a flared rim. The gorgeous earthy red hue of this ancient vessel is beautifully complimented by its lustrous burnished finish. A unique and exquisite piece from Colima culture! Size: 9.25" W x 6.375" H (23.5 cm x 16.2 cm)
The people in the Colima region were part of the shaft tomb culture, along with neighbors to the north in Jalisco and Nayarit. In these cultures, the dead were buried in shafts tombs. These shafts were almost always dug beneath a dwelling, probably a family home, and seem to have been used as family mausoleums, housing the remains of many related individuals. This is a vessel made to be placed inside those mausoleums, perhaps to mediate between the worlds of the living and the dead.
