South American Ceramic Bird Bowl

Hi dear Members,

Something caught my attention and I decided to buy this piece.
It's a three legged bird bowl with two men depicted on the sides.

I know nothing about South American ceramics and doing my research I only found one figurine of a similar bird (link below).

Unfortunately, the seller packed it very poorly (if not to say that he didn't packed it at all) and my little bird was damaged during transportation

I have carefully collected all the broken pieces from the box.

My main question is: could anyone say if this bowl looks like a typical tourist souvenir, or it might have any higher cultural/art value? Since my knowledge is zero in this topic I can't even estimate when it was made.

And if it is some kind of a ceramic usually sold for travellers and tourists, I will just glue the broken pieces back and enjoy the bowl as a decoration. However, if it an oldie, then I might probably give it to someone who van restore it?

So what do you think?




The last photo (made by seller) - how it looked before it was broken.

 

It is in the style of Mayan pottery (Central America), and most likely a modern replica made for sale rather than a precolumbian piece.

 

Thank You, then I’m not afraid to glue all the pieces back and make a mess of it
