Thoughts on this Terra Cotta bowl-

[diggummup]

I acquired this piece from an estate sale a while back for $1 as a curiousity piece. I know nothing about it. It stands about 6.5" tall and the opening at the top is approx. 4.25". Any thoughts or opinions as to age or culture, use? Maybe it's just a bad modern Mexican wannabe?

Do not think it is pre-columbian. Looks like it is from Levant.

danasaur, Thanks, I know it's been a while to say te least since you reponded. My apologies, I don't get to this section of the forum too often. Can you tell me why you think this is from the Levant region? Anybody else have any thoughts on this piece? I have picked up several more" curiousities" I will be posting as time allows, it's going to be a busy week.
