Document source description
This bowl shows an enormous bird, perhaps a condor, rendered in white on a black background. It likely had mythical significance, now lost, for the indigenous peoples of the area. 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.
