EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century bowl with serpents and lid, hailing from South East Asia, is a captivating example of the rich and intricate decorative arts that emerged during this period. The bowl, made of terracotta with opaque watercolor, showcases a vibrant color palette and intricate design. The exterior of the bowl is adorned with a lively procession of serpents, their sinuous forms entwined around each other, creating a dynamic and mesmerizing pattern. The lid, featuring a central medallion with a floral motif, adds an elegant touch to the piece. Originating from an unknown country in South East Asia, possibly Sri Lanka, this bowl is a testament to the region's rich artistic heritage. The use of terracotta and watercolor techniques is a common feature in the ceramics of this region, and this bowl showcases these techniques at their finest. The bowl, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a reminder of the intricate and beautiful objects that have been produced throughout history. The bowl's intricate decoration and unique design make it a standout piece in any collection, and a fascinating glimpse into the artistic traditions of South East Asia during the 19th century.
