Tairona Double Spouted Vessel (Pasapuente)

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Colombia, Tairona culture, ca. 900 to 1650 CE. An intriguing double-spouted ceremonial vessel known as a "pasapuente" displaying an applied ovoid foot that flares out at the base, an elongated body, and a pair of wide, cylindrical spouts with annular flared rims. A slender strip of clay with a central groove connects the rims of each spout, forming a high handle. Boasting a lustrous stone burnish, the unique vessel's surface is adorned with chocolate brown slip. Size: 4.375" L x 10" W x 7.625" H (11.1 cm x 25.4 cm x 19.4 cm)

The Tairona lived in circular house platforms with areas of the houses divided for labor by gender. Ceramic manufacture seems to have been the realm of the women in the household, and small burnishing stones used for smoothing the surface of pottery prior to firing have been found in their areas.
