Pre-Columbian Chiapas Area Toad Vessel
This is a Terminal Classic period toad effigy vessel from the Chiapas area of Mexico, dating to circa 800 – 1000 CE. This Tohil Plumbate jar has characteristics expected of reduction fired vessels from Soconusco. It depicts a toad replete with parotid glands, most likely a Cane Toad or Bufo Marinus. The piece is in superb condition, with good mineral deposits and trails covering the lustrous metallic sheen of a slip.

Dimensions: 4”x 4” x 3”
