Ceramic disc holder with animal image

Ceramic disc holder with animal image

It is a ceramic plate with a base, belonging to the Parita style, dating back to approximately 1150 to 1400 AD. This ceramic style is characterized by black horizontal lines decorated on a red primer, which run through the plate and base. The Parita style ceramics are significantly different from the colorful ceramic decorative styles of the region before. Many previous decorative elements such as "YC", spiral patterns, design saturation, claws, and lizards have disappeared, but animal shaped decorations are still preserved. This type of plate is a typical representative of Parita style due to its unique base.
