Shipibo Amazon Jungle Quempo Bowl
$34.00

For the Shipibo, pottery is distinctly female work. Quempo is how the Shipibo refers to this type of flaring bowl, also known in the jungle as mocahua. It is used to drink Masato, a thick, yucca-based drink, and for other fluids and therefore has external water-related motifs. The thin walls of this bowl are elegantly constructed so that the rim is narrower than the body.

A face is painted over slight protrusions of pottery for the eyes, nose, chin, and ears. Beautifully painted with fine Shipibo artistic patterns, typical of their work. Made by Shipibo women of Amazonia.

Due to the hand-painted nature of this product yours may vary slightly from photo.

Shipibo Amazon Jungle Ceramic Effigy Vessel
$61.00

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. For the Shipibo, pottery is distinctly female work.

Made by Shipibo women of the Amazon Jungle Rainforest.
