Two-horned vessel with animal representation

Photograph of a vessel published in Franco Monti’s Terrecotte precolombiane, Fratelli Fabbri Editori, Milan, 1966, p. 119. The photograph is accompanied by the short caption: “Two-horned vessel with animal representation. Department of Antioquia, Colombia. Bogotá, Museo Nacional de Antropología” and by a more extensive description: “53. Two-horned vessel with animal representation. H. 22.5 cm. Department of Antioquia, Colombia. Bogotá, Museo Nacional de Antropología. The numerous funerary vessels originating from the middle region of the Cauca River display a rich variety of types with clearly differentiated stylistic characteristics and diverse techniques, suggesting a succession of cultural phases, though these have not yet been fully established by scholars. This example belongs to the Quimbaya culture culture.”
