DESCRIPTION: A Tall elegant polychrome amphora with concentric rings circling the upper spout and sinuous swirling designs decorating the globular base. The base is a deep cinnamon color with areas of black striping. As a pair they are unsurpassable when it comes to elegance and beauty. A fine addition to even the best collection.PROVENANCE:This Cocle/Chiriqui collection which originally comprised over 500 pieces was inherited by the son of Dr. Glen E. Murphy who was reputed to have amassed the largest personal collection of Pre-Columbian artifacts from Panama in the world. He worked in Panama for over 20 years and later became the President of The Canal Zone University and then returned to the U.S. and became a well known instructor at The Daytona Beach Community College. All pieces were exported to the U.S. with proper legal paperwork that will be presented upon purchase. He donated many artifacts, both pottery and gold, to The Smithsonian Institution and The Rockefeller Museum and split the remainder of the collection among his three children.
