The Tumaco and La Tolita cultural complex existed in the area around the southwest coast of Colombia and the northwest coast of Ecuador, respectively, around 300 BC-AD 300. It is from the classic period that most familiar ceramic forms originate. The figurative vessels and figurines, such as this example, were made for funerary use, and many of these effigies are believed to represent mythical beings rather than anecdotal, mundane images of life.

The incised design on this vessel is an unusual portrayal of the animal alter ego, known as 'way', in the form of three anthropomorphic deer. Each wears a knotted loin or hip wrap cloth and shows a distinctive facial type with fleshy muzzle,open, staring eyes, and spotted cheek areas.

This supernatural animal image may have ref ...click for details
