(DEPOSITO: MUSEO ARQUEOLOGICO NACIONAL).A vase with a flattened belly with dragon shaped handles unknownBowl (Tecomate) 12th-9th century B.C. Olmec This bowl is in a full, round shape with a small opening at the top. A potter carefully built this thin-walled vessel using a coil technique with a kaolin-like clay, finishing it with a dark slip and then burnishing it to create a shiny surface. The vessel type is known as a tecomate (gourd”), named after the gourds that inspired their original form. Some of the earliest ceramic vessels in Mesoamerica took the form of gourds captured in the more durable material of fired clay. Tecomates were important receptacles for community feasts, and many were subsequently placed in burials as important funerary offerings.

They hold sticks or long clubs with rounded ends. A line of waves and irregular mounds filled with small dots, probably representing sand dunes, locate the scene in a marine environment. Two sea lions are represented tridimensionally, with their flippers painted directly on the chamber of the vessel. Some sea lions have a circular object in front of the mouth. Similar objects also appear in the mouth of sculpted sea lion vessels. They are interpreted as small beach pebbles that these animals swallow. When hunted, sea lions frequently cough up the stones. Once powdered, these pebbles are believed to possess powerful medicinal properties. Today, they are used on the Peruvian coast by folk healers in order to cure epilepsy and heart disorders..

Vase with flowers 48387Ocarina 1300-1500 Tairona People; Gayraca style Although numerous types of instruments survive from pre-conquest South and Central America, little is known of how they were used. Whistles, trumpets, and rattles in animal or human form probably had ceremonial functions or served as playthings. Smaller whistles in animal shapes, perhaps worn suspended from the neck, frequently have fingerholes that allow variation of pitch.Flutes and bells are all that remain of many musical traditions of the Tairona people of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region, Colombia. The importance of these metal, terracotta, and blackware instruments is evident in their carefully detailed incising and punctuation. The symbolic meanings of the effigies are obscure, and the relationship between the forms and their musical functions is unclear. It is believed that musical effigies served as talismans and were played to link the mortal and immortal realms.. Ocarina. Tairona People; Gayraca style. 1300-1500.
