Project Description
Jar with landscape
ALCORA
Hacia 1775-1790
Circular foot, globular body and high cylindrical neck. The main scene takes place between the upper part of the body and the neck, and occupies the entire perimeter. You can see a radiant sun, a background of buildings in two different planes, and in the first place a structure with wooden sticks (seesaw?) With two characters, one raised on top and the other on the bottom. Next to this contraption, a tree with an owl perched on one of its branches. At the bottom, a figurehead under the top of the handle and a lion mounted by a monkey. At the top, under the rim of the jar, a phylacterium with the legend of property: I am from Mn. Joseph Martines.
