Lime container or poporo

Glass of lime or "poporo". The body is globular and has an open cylindrical neck, the lid is welded, decorated with radial undulations and has alternating, small hooks to suspend discoidal plates, like the one still preserved. It has a hole to insert the pourer. Concave base. This piece is part of what is known as Quimbaya Treasure—a funerary assemblage of gold and *tumbaga* objects discovered in two pre-Columbian tombs. Beyond the sheer size of the collection, its value lies in an exceptional level of technical and artistic mastery that places these works among the pinnacles of pre-Hispanic art.
