This print showcases a remarkable pottery vessel from the Quimbaya civilization in Columbia, South America. Dating back to the 6th century, this artifact is believed to have been crafted between 500-1000 AD. The vessel features twin spouts, although one of them is now missing, and a strap-handle that adds an intriguing touch to its design. Displayed at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, this piece stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Colombia. Its vibrant colors and intricate details highlight the skill and craftsmanship of the Quimbaya people. The photograph captures every aspect of this ancient object with precision and clarity. It allows viewers to appreciate its unique shape, delicate spouted structure, and well-preserved handle. Through this image, we can delve into Colombia's pre-Columbian history and gain insight into their artistic traditions. Renowned photographer Mike Dixon expertly captured this image for posterity.
