| Reverse description | A zoomorphic ceramic vessel (vasija zoomorfa) from the Mixteca culture is depicted in finely detailed relief at the center of the field, rendered as a stylized animal figure with a jug or pitcher form rising from its back, its body decorated with incised circular and geometric motifs evoking pre-Columbian artistry. The circular legend VASIJA ZOOMORFA CULTURA MIXTECA arcs around the periphery of the reverse, separated by a small lozenge-shaped stop at the base. |
