| Decoration: Ceramics are monochrome in appearance from the use of red, tan, or pale orange slip against a fire-clouded surface; some forms are black, and finely polished. Some show use of polychrome slip paints in red, orange, black, and yellow. The surface exterior is polished or burnished. There is some use of applique and incision. Forms: Plates (ch'illami), open bowls, vases, double-cylinder vases with bridge handles, beakers with vertical handles, pitchers, incense burners, portrait jars, handled funerary jars, boot-shaped jars, tripod-base jars, canoe-shaped bowls, double-spout bottles, effigy jars in the shape of humans, animals and birds, and figurines. Size: Varies according to form; miniatures average 2 cm. in height while over-sized ch'illamis can average 70 cm. in width/rim diameter. Identifying Features: Formative Period ceramics are plain in appearance but their shapes are distinct. Some are miniature or over-sized (bowls, or ch'illami); asymmetrical or lop-sided (boot-shaped jars), and unconventional (beakers with vertical handles, canoe-shaped vessels, and others.) | |
