Round, polycrome bowl which constricts steeply in lower third to 10cm. Flat base. Matte black inside, orange with black lines define space in open ended rectangles, zigzag edged rectangles, step-edges rectangles and line ends, etc. Between thick lines are thin ones which run parallel and diverge from thicker ones. Resin-like coating has discoloured to yellow on base, bubbled and chipped on sides. Small hole on inside, not through. Some accretions inside.
Shipibo pottery derives from an artistic tradition which appears to be indigenous to the Amazon Basin (Willey) reaching its fullest development among the Panoan speakers of the upper Amazon, such as the Shipibo. The geometric designs found on this pottery are also found on wooden objects such as paddles, textiles, and used for body decoration. According to Salas, these patterns derive from a cross and serpent theme. Characteristically, designs are formed by heavy and fine red and black lines on cream. Traditionally, uses ranged from pots for boiling meat and fish, bowls for eating, Chicha vessels for storing beer and effigy vessels for female puberty rites. The expansion into the art or tourist market is evidenced by the establishment of a pottery school, and individual recognition of a few potters for their skill (Salas).
