Research and responses: Thomas Myers, Curator of Anthropology, University of Nebraska has made the following notes: Probably legitimately from the highland community of Jauja or one of the villages in the immediate vicinity. Probably purchased in the Jauaja market. Interesting that many pieces in this collection are miniature. All the pieces in this collection have some lead glaze in them which was a Spanish introduction but picked up by the Indian communities. This piece is possibly a flower pot.
