Dating to c. 200 BC-AD 300, this remarkable ceramic vessel from Colima, western Mexico, takes the form of a male acrobat performing an extraordinary contortion. Rather than simply decorating the vessel with a human figure, the ancient artist transformed the acrobat's body into the vessel itself, with his inverted head resting below his torso and his legs dramatically curved above him. The sculpture captures a fleeting display of flexibility, balance and physical skill in permanent clay and reflects the lively interest in the human body characteristic of the ceramic traditions of ancient West Mexico.
The vessel is today held in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, as part of the Michael C.
Rockefeller Memorial Collection.
The pre-Columbian Colima culture was an ancient Mesoamerican society that thrived in western Mexico (primarily in the modern state of Colima, as well as parts of Jalisco and Michoacán) from roughly 300 BCE to 600 CE, and is famous for its rich Western Mexico shaft tomb tradition.
The people lived in small agricultural villages and regional chiefdoms rather than massive imperial centers. They farmed maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers in fertile volcanic valleys.
Unlike central Mexican groups, they built modest structures on platforms using river boulders and wattle-and-daub, though regional centers like La Campana featured larger ceremonial mounds.
Colima culture is globally celebrated for its burnished, reddish-brown terracotta pottery. Artisans crafted hollow ceramic figurines with expressive, clean lines and dynamic forms.

#handmade #terracotta #pigment #warrior #face #head #Muisca #culture #Colombia #precolumbian #prehispanice #art #ancientart #sculpture #precolumbiansculpture #religion #ritual #precolumbianColombia #indigenousColombia #ceramic

A Muisca ceramic head originating from present-day Colombia, dating between A.D. 1200 and 1600.
Crafted by the indigenous Muisca culture of the central Colombian highlands.
Made of clay and paint, it features distinct slit eyes, a slit mouth, a sharp nose, and an ornately decorated headdress or crown.
This artifact was not an isolated mask; it was originally part of a larger ceramic figure that stood roughly three-and-a-half feet tall. It depicts a high-ranking individual, likely a warrior or chieftain.
The Muisca Civilization was an advanced indigenous pre-Columbian culture that flourished in the Altiplano Cundiboyacense of the Eastern Ranges of the Andes in central Colombia from roughly 600 to 1600 CE.
Spanned about 25,000 square kilometers in the heart of modern-day Colombia, including present-day Bogotá (which they called Bacatá).
Formed a loose confederation of sovereign polities rather than a centralized empire, led by rulers such as the zipa, zaque, and iraca.
Built circular, communal houses called bohios using wood, clay, and thatched straw rather than massive stone monuments.
Cultivated staples adapted to high altitudes, including corn, potatoes, and quinoa.
Rich in natural resources like coal, copper, emeralds, gold, and massive salt deposits.
Used blocks of salt, coal, and emeralds as a form of currency for an active barter system with neighboring groups.
Practiced polytheistic worship centered on nature deities, including Sué (the Sun) and Chía (the Moon).
Celebrated a ritual at Lake Guatavita where a leader covered in gold dust cleansed himself in the water, inspiring the European legend of El Dorado.
Created intricate votive figurines called tunjos from gold and tumbaga (a gold-copper alloy) using advanced lost-wax casting techniques.
Spoke Muysccubun, a Chibchan language that was suppressed and banned during the colonial era but leaves a lasting legacy in modern Colombian place names.
Currently housed at the National Museum of the American Indian.

This exists somewhere between terracotta and sepia tones. Either way it’s so familiar yet otherworldly at the same time

The 1932 Pacific Telephone Exchange #building at Steiner & Pine in #SF – a fantastic example of #IndustrialDeco, completely clad in #terracotta #tile (photo 2 has detail). Nothing exists behind those #windows but racks of equipment.

#ECK #Photography #EastCoastKin #UrbanGaze #architecture

A photograph of the three story art-deco Pacific Telephone Exchange building in San Francisco, with green trees in front of it and bright blue skies behind it.

The building is completely clad in pale beige terracotta tile, plain near the base of the building but breaking out into exuberant crests at the top in a zig-zag pattern.

While all the windows give it the look of an office building, behind those windows are just endless racks of telephone switching equipment.

A close up of the terracotta tiles on the Pacific Telephone Exchange building, showing how the buttresses rise out from the sides in thin layers, and showing the sculpted details at the crest of the building. Those details resemble fountains or stylized plants.

Zooming in on the plain looking tiles shows that they all have a rough textured surface, adding another layer of subtle detail.

Came for a single bag of perlite and ended up carrying five kilos of unglazed clay toward the register. Standard nursery tax. 🪴 #greenhouse #plants #wednesdayafternoon #terracotta #ai #aigirl
