A striking example of Pre-Columbian artistry, this footed bowl hails from the Nariño culture of southern Colombia, dating from 850–1500 AD.

The flared rim and tripod base give it a sculptural quality, while the polychrome decoration reflects ceremonial significance and advanced ceramic technique. Beautifully preserved with expected surface wear and mineral deposits, this piece is a rare and museum-worthy artifact—ideal for collectors of ancient ceramics, ethnographic art, or those drawn to the timeless elegance of indigenous design.
