A675 A fine Bolivian polychrome pitcher with bulbous base mounted with narrowing neck and pinched spout, a loop handle on back. Intricately painted with repeated panels of geometric stylized designs appearing to be human figures opposing each other vertically and connected at one leg; the legs of each human contort into a beaked bird head. Painted in dark brown with white outlining on the orange terra cotta base.
