Description:

Superb ceramic, metal, stone, and textile crafts were produced by Mixtec artisans. This simple, but elegant tripodal bowl with rattle legs served as a molcajete. The incised tondo contains a central grinding surface surrounded by a floral and circular motif, which means precious eagle feather bundles.
