Small juglets like this “…were finished to a higher quality and were used for cosmetics and scented oils [and perfumes and ointments].” (Frank) This piece is intact, in good condition and a genuine piece from ancient history. There are two chips on the mouth rim, body dents, and burnish losses, all expected for its age and longer than two millennia old burial.

  • Ancient Ceramic Snail Shaped Vessel, West Mexico, Jalisco (3290BLB) $435

    $435.00
    H: 4.75”  W: 2.75”  D: 1.75” | FREE SHIPPING IN CONTINENTAL U.S.!

    In ancient Mesoamerica snails signified birth, generation, and resurrection and were a source of spirituality.  The size and shape of his West Mexico Protoclassic (circa 200BCE – 200CE)  ceramic snail suggest it was made to hold liquids. Many early Jalisco ceramics were utilitarian and used for cooking, carrying water or storing seeds. Pieces like this with a wide large spout were often painted with designs that faded since they were not fired after painting. Urban centers in Colima Jalisco-Nayarit were abandoned for centuries, so utilitarian objects were rarely found whole and had to be assembled and restored. This piece is in very good condition with cracks and paint losses and may have expected repairs at its spout.
