| Description of works | 【A baby, or an alien? 】 This earthenware painted with patterns was produced in Ecuador, located in the northwestern part of the South American continent. In the period between 500 BCE and 500 CE, a technique called “negative painting” was applied to pottery produced in the vast areas encompassing the coast and the highlands of Ecuador. In negative painting, the design areas of the pre-fired base are first painted with wax, and then the whole area is covered with dark-color pigments. During firing, the wax melts, permitting the design to appear on the dark background. A baby-like figure is drawn in the interior with facial features that fit the image of an alien. |
