The artefact is in fine condition (chip to the rim) and measures 100mm tall x 145mm in diameter.
The Pre-Columbian cultures of Ecuador are among the oldest in South America and among the first to master the art of pottery. The Chorrera, lasting from circa 1100-300 B.C. little is known of this culture; however, it is significant for its widespread geographical reach.
