Vintage Casas Grandes Animal Effigy Pottery Clay Vessel Bowl by Manuel Olivas

Description

Vintage Casas Grandes Animal Effigy Pottery Clay Vessel Bowl Signed by Manuel Olivas.
This charming and very unusual piece of pottery measures 5-1/5” wide x 8” deep x 5-1/4” tall.
It has arms and legs, like a human, but the head of a bird, or perhaps a turtle? It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
It was from an estate and the bottom is signed Manuel Olivas (faintly).
In 1952, in Casas Grandes, Manuel Olivas began to produce low temperature ceramics decorated with the designs from the pieces found at the archaeological sites. His grandmother taught him how to find the clay deposits, how to prepare the clay and fire his pieces the way his family did to produce clay articles. This is how the new traditional Paquimé ceramics were born.
