portrait jars
Hi Melissa - I was interested in this a year ago and did some net
searches and found a few examples to add to those that members of
the group had offered. Here is what I have on the vases in
particular and pre columbian art in general. I found it very hard to
locate images of the portrait jars and would like to have more sites
on this if someone has some really good ones.
