La cerámica chiriguana
A 1909 Buenos Aires study of Chiriguano pottery by the Argentine archaeologist Felix F. Outes, written for scholars of South American ceramics and held by the Getty Research Institute. The pictures are plain line drawings of vessel profiles, with jars, urns and necked pots shown in outline at scale, plus one painted pot with red-orange zigzag bands on cream. A designer might take the simple silhouettes of the rounded jars and the stepped zigzag banding as a clean source for geometric pattern and form.
