EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Anthropomorphic Jar from the Church of the Carmen, Manresa, Spain (13th-16th Centuries)" This anthropomorphic jar, hailing from the Church of the Carmen in Manresa, Spain, dates back to the 13th to 16th centuries. This unique piece showcases the rich artistic heritage of the Gothic period in the Barcelona province of Catalonia. The jar's exterior is adorned with intricate decoration, featuring an anthropomorphic figure with a distinctively humanoid face, complete with expressive eyes and a two-toned, coloured countenance. The figure's body is elongated and narrow, reminiscent of the human form, and the jar's handle is shaped like an outstretched hand, adding to the anthropomorphic effect. The interior of the jar is just as captivating as its exterior. The interior is decorated with a vibrant, coloured design, adding a splash of colour to the otherwise monochromatic exterior. The jar's body is made of high-quality ceramic, with a smooth texture and a subtle sheen. This anthropomorphic jar is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Catalan potters during the Gothic era. The use of manganese in the glaze gives the jar a distinctive green hue, making it a truly unique piece. The jar's two-tone colouring, achieved through a combination of glazes, adds depth and dimension to the figure's face and body. This anthropomorphic jar is now on display at the Regional Museum in Manresa, Spain, where it continues to captivate visitors with its intricate decoration, historical significance, and artistic beauty. The jar's enduring presence is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Spain and the Catalan region during the Gothic period.
