This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times. The "Blackware Plate with Fish Incised in Interior" is believed to have been created between 500 and 150 B. C. , its exact origins shrouded in mystery as the creator remains unknown. The plate, made of earthenware, features an intricate incised design on its interior surface. A school of fish gracefully swim across the black background, their delicate forms brought to life through skilled craftsmanship. This exquisite piece exemplifies the artistic mastery prevalent during this era. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Americas gallery, this ceramic vessel offers a glimpse into South America's rich cultural heritage.
