Manuel Mora

Twin-Spout Lizard Vessel

$550.00

Hand-Painted Ceramic from Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico
A sculptural homage to heritage, Twin-Spout Lizard Vessel by Manuel Mora brings together ceremonial form and ancient storytelling. This double-spouted pitcher features a continuous design of lizards coiled in circular medallions, surrounded by intricate geometric borders in earthy reds, matte blacks, and warm ochre. The symmetrical handles merge at the top, forming a visual bridge between balance and unity—an iconic shape in Mesoamerican pottery associated with ritual offerings and symbolic duality.
Every inch of the surface is adorned with precision brushwork, celebrating both nature and symmetry. The central lizard motif is a powerful symbol in many Indigenous Mexican cultures, representing regeneration, agility, and survival.
