Walter Bastianetto Eight Headed Ceramic Vessel

Design Plus Gallery presents an Eight Headed Ceramic Vessel by Walter Bastianetto. This incredible sculptural piece is reflective of the Pre-Columbian influences of the artist’s adopted country. Created clay by hand, and revealing the shapes of old Mexico, the large vessel is “guarded” by eight hyenas. Light surface wear; condition is consistent with age and use.
