Shipibo Amazon Jungle Ceramic Effigy Vessel

These ceramic polychrome vessel with a human face in high relief at the top of the neck. A dark, earthy red, flat base terminates abruptly in a brown ring and then gives way to a creamy color decorated with labyrinthine lines and a projecting human face below a slightly flared, rolled rim. Shipibo vessels are visually distinctive and instantly recognizable, but they are also the result of a tempering technology that is millennia old and allowed them to create some of the largest, thinnest-walled vessels produced in the New World. Made by Shipibo women of the Amazon Jungle Rainforest.

Patterns and colors may slightly vary from photo due to handmade nature.
