EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Quimbaya lime flask, crafted from tumbaga gold, originating from Colombia. Standing at an impressive height of 22.2 cm, this exquisite piece belongs to a private collection and represents the remarkable artistry of the Quimbaya civilization. The Quimbaya people were renowned for their exceptional goldwork, characterized by meticulous technical precision and intricate designs. Flourishing between the 1st century BCE and 10th century AD, they demonstrated advanced cultural development and possessed a well-structured political system known as cacicazgo. Through archaeological studies of artifacts like this lime container, we gain insights into various aspects of Quimbaya society. The separated groups within their civilization specialized in pottery making, religious practices, trade activities, gold craftsmanship, and warfare. Functionally speaking, this golden vessel served as a receptacle for powdered lime used in rituals. Lime played a significant role in enhancing contemplation during prayer sessions among the Quimbaya people. Preserved through time with its awe-inspiring beauty intact; this photograph captures not only the seated figure on top but also highlights the intricate metalwork that adorns it. This mesoamerican masterpiece is reminiscent of poporos or flacons - vessels commonly used by indigenous cultures throughout South America. As we delve into history through images like these provided by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; we are transported to ancient civilizations where art was not just aesthetic but held deep cultural significance.
