Description: Today the prehistoric Mimbres Culture is best known for the ceramic bowls they painted. This bowl is a replication of what appears to be a human/spirit-like entity with arms lifted in prayer or a blessing. Corn symbols (Teeth and dotted squares) proliferate upon the surface of this bowl. A deity or shaman appears to be blessing a corn crop or praying for a successful harvest. Since no written records exist from this extinct culture our speculation is only a best guess which may be entirely right or absolutely wrong. Most likely the truth exists between these two extremes. Whatever the inherent meaning of this bowl, we at Starling Black Studio strive to realistically recreate and replicate the original artifacts of the extinct cultures. Many of our replications look so realistic and could easily be mistaken as original artifacts if placed in a museum. If you appreciate the raw beauty and simplicity of the primitive arts, then I believe you will be very satisfied with the acquisition of “Corn Deity” as it effectively reflects the fine art that was once created in the southwestern deserts of prehistoric America by the now extinct and vanished Mimbres Culture.Dimensions: 6 Inches Diameter Price: $95.00 Our bowls are for decorative and display purposes only and should never be used for the processing or serving of food products.
