    "description": "This bowl shows three deer without antlers (presumably does) contrasted with a single buck with antlers, all shown on a dotted background. The placing of these motifs into a four-part background may reflect an understanding of the world and its cardinal directions as well. Dishes on short, ring-shaped bases were common in the Nariño region straddling the border between Ecuador and Colombia. They were carefully shaped, burnished (carefully polished with a stone), and painted with different colors of slip, a thinned out clay. Many of the Nariño vessels show highly abstracted patterns, like this one.",
