Description:
|
Casas Grandes ollas express over and over the concept of duality, a very important part of their cosmology. Duality manifests itself on the neck, the red and striped black triangles. The large squares with two opposite repeated images, the black 'P' or 'D' shape reversed, and the abstracted 'W' serpent form and the abstract macaw bird form.
