[smsomah]

The pottery of the Shipibo people, who live in eastern Peru, is among the finest produced by the indigenous peoples of the Amazon region.

The pots and jugs are made by women using the coiling technique. A characteristic feature is the high gloss obtained by polishing and applying a special varnish. The thin lines form geometric patterns that are characteristic of Shipibo pottery, but are also similar to the styles of other Amazonian groups. These highly decorative patterns are not chosen at random, but refer to mythical-religious symbols. Central themes include the cross and the snake, which is always depicted in stylised form; often as a part (e.g. the forked tongue) that represents the whole.

Ruth Asawa: Of Forms and Growth, 1977

“If you plant a seed in the ground, the seed doesn’t say, well, in eight hours I’m going to stop growing. You put it in the soil, and that bulb grows every second that it’s attached to the earth. That’s why I think that every minute that we’re attached to the earth, we should be doing something.” - Ruth Asawa
