Stirrup-Spout Tumaco-La Tolita Vessel
This ceramic vessel (500 BC–AD 500) from the Tumaco-La Tolita culture features a stirrup spout and a seated infant figure. The narrow spout ensured controlled pouring, a hallmark of coastal ritual pottery. Similar vessels excavated in Ecuador and southern Colombia were used for liquid offerings in funerary and domestic contexts.
