Potiza Vessel
PN-CHI-001


This decorated pottery vessel from Cueva de Chicho is one of many completely intact, ceremonial vessels which have been recovered from various sites in East National Park. From the elaborate decoration and analysis of organic remains within this vessel, it appears that the Taino may have used this vessel for more than typical, daily purposes.
