15th Century or Earlier Redware Tangas, Marajoara culture, Marajo Island, Brazil
Tangas are thin concave triangular ceramic pubic covers found in burial mounds associated with females. The holes at the corners are believed to be string holes, meant to attach the artifact to the body. These three are undecorated, yet have intriguing surface textures and shapes. They measure 6.25 to 7 inches wide (15.8 to 17.7 cm) and 8″ to 8.5″ high as based.
From the collection of Jean-Eugene Lyons, Geneve, Switzerland, with collection numbers 310, 289 and 303.
