<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nastina.nastea, post: 10100128, member: 81895&quot;]Hi dear Members,</p><p><br /></p><p>Something caught my attention and I decided to buy this piece. </p><p>It&#039;s a three legged bird bowl with two men depicted on the sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know nothing about South American ceramics and doing my research I only found one figurine of a similar bird (link below).</p><p><a href="https://mna.inah.gob.mx/colecciones_detalle.php?id=68371&amp;sala=9&amp;pg=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://mna.inah.gob.mx/colecciones_detalle.php?id=68371&amp;sala=9&amp;pg=4" rel="nofollow">https://mna.inah.gob.mx/colecciones_detalle.php?id=68371&amp;sala=9&amp;pg=4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, the seller packed it very poorly (if not to say that he didn&#039;t packed it at all) and my little bird was damaged during transportation<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have carefully collected all the broken pieces from the box.</p><p><br /></p><p>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&#039;t even estimate when it was made.</p><p><br /></p><p>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?</p><p><br /></p><p>So what do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]506929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]506938[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]506939[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The last photo (made by seller) - how it looked before it was broken.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
