Description of Designated List Category Subject to Import Restrictions

 

The Classic Period in Calima corresponds to Yotoco pottery, its characteristic decoration in black negative resist paint on red, orange or white wash, and curvilinear designs. They occasionally carry appliqués.

Example: Whistling Alcarrazas, which could be either single or double. The dimensions of the simple ones are the same as the double-spouted alcarrazas. The double ones have the same average height, and an average length of 20 cm.
