JAGUAR Decorative Ceramic Platter in Dark Green Glaze with Gold Luster Details
Decorative slip casted ceramic platter finished with a rich black or dark green glaze, highlighted with gold luster details.
Inspired by Mortero (Valdivia 4000 - 1800 AD), a stone hand-carved mortero with Jaguar motifs. This object was utilized for the grinding of different products, possibly for the processing of ceremonial substances. The platter utilizes the distinctive teeth and physical attributes to communicate the significance of the jaguar as a symbol of pre-Columbian culture and heritage.
In an unprecedented collaboration, the distinguished pre-Columbian art museum, Museo Casa del Alabado, has invited ANDEAN to design a limited edition collection that bridges the past and present. ANDEAN X Museo Casa del Alabado breathes new life into ancient artifacts from the museum’s permanent collection.
