"The clear acrylic display stand shown in the photos is included. The opening at the top has some minor scratches."
This exquisite piece is a miniature Barro Negro (black clay) decorative vessel from Oaxaca, Mexico.

While larger versions of this style are used as luminarias (light fixtures where candles inside illuminate through the carved patterns), this smaller size is designed primarily as a decorative art piece that showcases the renowned Oaxacan pottery tradition.
