About this book
Ancient Art of the Province of Chiriqui, Colombia is by William Henry Holmes, and a list of figures includes, among others, a Vase of unusual shape with decoration in black, red, and purple. The list of figures names, among others, a Drum of gray unpainted clay, a Crab shaped whistle, an Alligator shaped whistle and a Stool of plain terra cotta.
The author says that each loop is supplied with one or more rings or ring-like fillets, or with small nodes, generally near the most prominent part of the curve or arch. The author says the nodes and like features are atrophied heads, hands, or feet, and in some cases are marked with indentations that refer to the eyes or to the fingers or toes. The author says the round nodes upon which these medallion-like figures are drawn are survivals of the heads or other parts of animals originally modeled in the round, but in the processes of manufacture partially or wholly atrophied.
