Little is known about the Formative period in the Carchi region of Ecuador, but by later times, Carchi was culturally a single unit with the department of Narino in southern Colombia. Consequently, this low pedestal bowl has much in common with typical Narino pottery, characterized by a red-brown ground with black, negative resist, geometric decoration. This piece is especially nice with some complicated diamond and chevron motifs.
AGE: 800-1200 A.D. CONDITION: Intact and in good shape with some minor paint loss. DIMENSIONS: 4" tall and 5" in diameter (10.2 cm x 12.7 cm) |
