Jar
A hollow burnished mould-made jar. It depicts the supernatural power of fertility in nature - we see the face of a female deity with a maize cob headdress. The deity’s arms and naked body are clear to see at the front of the vessel. The jar’s body is also decorated in the form of the pacay legume (Inga feuilleei).
