Details

Nicaraguan artisan Miguel Angel Calero handcrafts this decorative ceramic vase with a wide-mouthed round bowl. The vase is glazed a mottled brown for the background and red in the design from pigments made from cobalt oxides and pulverized rock. The artisan etches the surface to reveal the natural sand color of the ceramic and creates images of Quetzalcóatl, the feather-headed serpent deity representing man's duality--the serpent symbolizing the physical limitations of the human body and the feathers symbolizing spirituality.
