Florida Native Four-Lattice Pottery
This is a Florida native pottery. This four-compartment pottery is from the Tarrant Collection of the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature (formerly the Museum of South Florida) in Bradenton, Florida. It consists of four connected circular grooves, forming a whole square or plum-shaped container. The surface is rough, the color is yellow and brown, and there are signs of wear. It is speculated that it may be carved from stone. In ancient times, similar four-compartment containers were found in different cultures. For example, four-compartment containers of bronze, marble or pottery used to hold pigments were unearthed at the sites of the late Shang Dynasty in China.
Ancient pottery vessels
The container is irregular cup-shaped, with a narrow bottom and a wide top, with a ring-shaped handle on one side and a groove or "mouth" on the other side for pouring liquid. This shape is common in ancient and modern handmade pottery and is used to hold liquids such as water, milk, sauce or tea.
Vessel in the Form of a Fish from the Middle Nazca Period
Fish-shaped vessels were made from about 100 BC to 600 AD and are part of the Nazca culture. NASCAR artists are known for their bold, colorful designs. They are keen observers of the world around them and depict many plants and animals in their work, but they seem more concerned with capturing the spirit and vividness of the subject than naturalism. The image of this fish is highly abstract, the scales are suggested by strokes, and the gills are represented by streamlined lines. It is round and fat, proving a rich food supply. Fish is a key component of the Nazca diet and often appears in their art.
