{"product_id":"ancient-pre-columbian-encased-terracotta-bowl","title":"Ancient Pre-Columbian Encased Terracotta Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coiled terra cotta bowl is a visceral example of early ceramic artistry, characterized by its deep ochre and charcoal geometric bands. The piece is presented in its found state, featuring significant cracks, deep-set fractures, and historic breakage that has been carefully stabilized to preserve its circular form. These structural imperfections are central to the piece’s identity, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the lifespan of an ancient domestic vessel. Encased in a clean, 11-inch museum-grade plexiglass vitrine, the bowl’s weathered edges and mineral-encrusted surface are given a focused, archival presentation. It is a striking choice for collectors who value the \"Wabi-Sabi\" beauty of an object that has survived through centuries of burial and recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Dimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e11\" L x 10\" W x 11\" H\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Material: Indigenous clay with mineral-pigment polychrome slip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Finish: Aged Terracotta \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Presentation: Professionally secured within a custom clear plexiglass display case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: China\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Significant historic breakage, visible fracture lines, and stabilized cracks throughout.
