EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable Monkey effigy vessel, dating back to the 1st-3rd century and originating from the Guanacaste-Nicoya Culture. Crafted with precision and skill, this ceramic masterpiece stands at a height of 20 cm, making it an exquisite addition to any collection. The zoomorphic design of this terracotta jar is truly awe-inspiring. The crouching monkey shape captures the essence of wild animals in Mesoamerica, showcasing their importance in ancient cultures. Its intricate clay work and attention to detail are evident in every curve and contour. Noteworthy features include a sturdy handle that allows for easy transportation and a tripod base which adds stability to this artifact. As we admire its earthenware texture, we are transported back in time to witness the rich history of Central America unfold before our eyes. Originally hailing from Costa Rica's Guanacaste region, this pottery piece represents the artistic prowess of the Nicoya people. It serves as a testament to their craftsmanship and cultural significance during pre-Columbian times. Photographed by Dirk Bakker, this image perfectly captures the essence of this ancient treasure without infringing on copyright restrictions or commercial use limitations. It serves as both an educational tool for art enthusiasts and a visual delight for those who appreciate Mesoamerican heritage.
