Bowl (Tecomate)

Olmec

Not on view

This bowl, reportedly from the site of Las Bocas, Puebla, Mexico, is in a full, round shape with a small opening at the top. Made of a kaolin-like clay, its walls are thin and burnished to a high gloss. It is undecorated, but the variegated color on its outer surface ranges from beige, to grey, to light brown and orange-red.
