Description
Shipibo-Conibo mahuetá from the Peruvian Amazon, hand-built in earthenware with a wide globular body, constricted neck, and flaring rim. The neck is modeled with a human face painted in linear kené facial motifs, and the body is covered in cream, black, and red-orange geometric labyrinths and stepped crosses. Form and decoration are consistent with the women's ceramic tradition of the Shipibo-Conibo people of the Ucayali region of Peru. Item Specifics Culture Peruvian
