Ecuadorian Artifact

Helps to have it right side up.

It's a candle holder for ceremonies. You put the candle on the funny man's head.

That's my best guess without more info

Looks like part of a pot or something

It was found in Ecuador in the ceja region, which is about it.

>>2665579 I'm assuming it was a pot's neck, the bottom looks like it broke from something.

Some amateur potmaker's attempt at a gift for his mom's birthday.

Put the phone upsidedown and it looks like a figure, might be a statue, not sure because of the angle of the picture doesn't show more, but it might be a pot if it has a hole on it, but I think it is a statue.

>>2665623 It's hollow, should've provided that

Sucks dick, there was a high population of males compared to females, these were made as a sort of sex toy for storing semen so males who were unlucky could store their semen in this after face fucking it, so future females could use their sperm.

This is a Vietnamese basketweaving symposium. Why don't you talk to a potter? I bet a potter can tell you a lot about how it was made and what it was made from. Are you even sure it's old?

>>2665659
Not op but it's not old

All the actual artifacts are masterworks compared to this thing

>>266559 OP here. The professor is an archaeologist that specializes in New World ceramics. He doesn't know what it is.

>>2665659 I'm not as worried about what it was made from as use and history
