Today the now extinct Mimbres Culture is best known for the stylized renditions they painted upon the interiors of small to medium sized ceramic bowls. They appeared to take an equal interest in all the creatures of the natural world that surrounded them from large bears to small tadpoles. Upon this bowl is the rendition of two insects between which is an interlocking swirl. The meaning of this bowl is lost as no written records exist to decipher the symbolism. We can only look and wonder.  Starling Black Studio recreated this bowl in a small studio in the White Mountains of Arizona.  Our goal at the studio is to make realistic replications of the prehistoric art from extinct cultures. We use traditional processes and primitive techniques in the construction and painting of our replica pottery pieces. It is often difficult to find prehistoric art for sale and the price is often prohibitive. Replica Art is an alternative solution that is available, affordable, and highly collectable. If you enjoy the simplicity and rawness of the primitive arts and have a love for archeology, then I believe you will be pleased with this bowl displaying insects from a time long ago.
