Description of Designated List Category Subject to Import Restrictions |
|
||
|
The
ceramic vessels of this archaeological culture are similar in form and
decoration to the San Agustín pottery. The most representative vessels of
this region are funerary urns with brown, red and negative resist paint
slips, decorated with incised dotted decoration forming triangles filled-in
with white paste and/or modeled appliqués in zoomorphous, especially
serpent-like figures. Their dimensions vary thus. (Height: 20 to 50 cm.,
Diameter: 25 and 40 cm.) |
