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.
