Gran Coclé Painted Olla, Panama
Pre-Columbian, Panama, Gran Cocle, ca. 800–1000 CE. A low, wide-shouldered olla with a swelling body carrying a band of painted decoration in red, black, and cream slip. The everted collar is ringed with parallel lines and a dotted register, while the shoulder carries a series of vertical panels: lozenge-shaped reserves flanked by hatched blocks and bands of red and black. The geometric decoration, featuring cross-hatching and repeating oval motifs, is characteristic of ceramic workshops in central Panama. The vessel was hand-built and burnished before firing, and likely served both domestic and mortuary purposes, with its ornamentation associated with status.
