Pre-Columbian ceramics vessel

About the Item

Pre-Columbian Redware Ceramic Flask Vessel – 15 x 13 x 5 cm This striking Pre-Columbian redware ceramic vessel showcases the sophisticated artistry and utilitarian craftsmanship of ancient Mesoamerican or South American cultures. Likely originating from a Central or South American civilization, the flask features a smooth, highly burnished red slip surface and a triangular form that gently tapers to a point, giving it a heart-like silhouette. With dimensions of 15 x 13 x 5 cm, the vessel is compact yet visually impactful. It includes a central spout for pouring or drinking, and small lateral perforations—possibly for suspension or carrying, hinting at its portable use. One small side hole suggests it may have served a ritual or practical function, possibly as a canteen or ceremonial container. Despite minor surface wear consistent with age, this piece remains in remarkable condition and exudes historical authenticity and cultural significance. A timeless artifact ideal for collectors of ancient ceramics or ethnographic art. Dimensions: Height: 15 cm Width: 13 cm Depth: 5 cm
