Ceramic Tripod Bowl with Lizards
This ceramic tripod bowl from the Greater Nicoya region (800–1350 AD) features lizards scaling its legs. Lizards symbolized agility, adaptability, and regeneration. Their upward movement may have evoked spiritual ascent or fertility. Such vessels were used in elite rituals and feasting, linking nature and ceremonial life.
