Product story

A fascinating detail about Tapajó pottery is that, according to archaeologist Anna Roosevelt, it is the oldest artisanal expression of the people in the Tapajós region, Amazonia. This craft dates back around six thousand years, as per studies conducted in the USA. During this time, the inhabitants of Tapajós were already creating items like necked vessels, caryatid vessels, and other utensils for their needs. In addition to necked and caryatid vessels, Santarém pottery also stands out for its figurines. These exhibit a wide variety of anthropomorphic or zoomorphic forms, which can be hollow, solid, or a combination of both.
