Neck of Poporo (Lime Container). Culture: Early Quimbaya. Dimensions: H. 5 3/8 x Diam. 2 5/8 in. (13.7 x 6.7 cm).

This neck likely would have been attached to poporo made of a gourd. To join the two parts, a person could have used pitch, a viscous and elastic substance that can be derived from different organic materials (Plazas 2016, 266). Other examples of necks may have been attached by threading cord through perforations in the metal and joining this cord to the poporo body in some way. The neck consists of three registers and is symmetric on its vertical axis and partially symmetric on its horizontal. The bottom r
