This replica of a Pre-Columbian a ceramic holloware stirrup spout vessel, or bottle, shows birds carved into the sides of the stirrup / handle and also flanking either side where it meets the vessel. Atop the stirrup where the spout and bowl come together, is a monkey-like creature hanging on. Engraved into the bottom of the scene of an anthro-zoomorphic duel in which two figures appear to be engaged in battle, or maybe depicting a shamanic dream. An engaging piece. Attractive blackware.
