Catalogue Note
Ce bol profond représente cinq couples, bras dessus-bras dessous, observant la confrontation de deux personnages placés au centre et auxquels ils semblent offrir une palissade protectrice. Utilisé comme objet rituel, il s’inscrit également parmi les artefacts illustrant de nombreuses scènes anecdotiques de l'Ouest du Mexique comme des modèles de maison, des jeux de balle, des fêtes et des jeux de volants, cf. Townsend, Ancient West Mexico, 1998, pl. 140, fig. 3 et 4.
The deep bowl illustrates a ritual of six couples arm-in-arm, witnessing the confrontation of two figures at the center. The rim figures of paired men and women form a lattice-like protective wall to the central couple.
The bowl functions as a ritual object as well; it is one of the many anecdotal scenes from West Mexico that includes house models, ball games, feasts and volador games. See Townsend, Ancient West Mexico, 1998, pl. 140, figs. 3 and 4.
