This print showcases a fragment from a blackware vessel in the form of a crested bird head, dating back to the 11th to 15th centuries. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this remarkable piece of ceramic art. Believed to have originated from Peru, this pre-Columbian artifact reflects the rich heritage and artistic traditions of South America. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the decorative elements adorning the vessel's surface. The smooth black color, achieved through ceramic and pigment techniques, adds an air of sophistication and elegance. The crest atop the bird's head further enhances its majestic appearance.
