20th Century Terracotta Incense Burner From the Santarem Culture in Brazil - 13"

This is an intriguing brule parfum crafted from dark, patinated terracotta, originating from the Tapajó people of the Santarém culture in the lower Amazon region of Brazil. The two-tiered design features sculpted zoomorphic and fantastical bestiary figures, enriched with scarified décor, evoking a deep connection to nature and the divine. Anthropomorphic figures function as caryatides, supporting the basin with a unique blend of artistry and cultural symbolism.

This unique piece can bring a bold, cultural statement to your home décor. Place it on a console table, shelf, or coffee table as a dramatic centerpiece, where its sculptural quality and historical resonance will captivate attention. Pair it with other earthy tones, natural fibers, or minimalist surroundings to highlight its rich texture and cultural depth.
