Clay vessel in the form of a #tapir

“Four-legged figurine vessel in the shape of a standing tapir. The object has a spherical body, a short, protruding neck and a bulging, reinforced rim. A central, hollow head protome is attached to the body, which has attached and recessed attributes. On the opposite part of the vessel there is a conical tail protome. The legs of the vessel have rattle balls and small, triangular openings that are arranged in a rosette shape. The ceramic is smoothed and glazed on both sides. Red paint residues appear on the outside of the vessel wall, on the lip and on the inside of the neck. The legs, body and head protomes show signs of burning. There are small breaks on the rim of the vessel and on one leg. The outside of the monochrome pottery and the inside of the neck of the vessel probably had a red-brown base color. Cultural significance: the Ceiba Rojo Café type mainly comprises everyday ceramics. It has been documented in both settlement contexts and burials.”

Plumbate vessel "depicting a shaman or priest wearing a tapir head headdress, his face peeking out from inside of the creature's mouth." Maya/Toltec, c.900-1200CE, 8.8x6.4cm. Baird's Tapir is the largest terrestrial mammal native to Maya territory.

"Plumbate pottery is distinguishable by its uniquely shiny - sometimes even iridescent - glaze that has been fired at very high temperatures. Plumbate ware was probably made by a very small number of artisans around the Mexico/Guatemala border who then exported them throughout wider Mesoamerica." photo plumbate ware vessel depicting human head wearing tapir headdress, quarter turn side profile, mounted on stand same object, photo of opposite side profile

official exhibition photo of the tapir bench, quarter turn side profile on white background “Carving wooden sitting benches is a longstanding artistic practice among the Indigenous peoples in Brazil. These wooden benches are utilized for ceremonial purposes and everyday use in their communities. Some are zoomorphic, representing animals of the Brazilian fauna and spiritual entities, while others take a more geometrical seat shape, painted with natural pigments or carved in eloquent designs.”

It’s #WorldTapirDay, and we’re celebrating some of the coolest creatures around — our tapir trio: Baku, Yuna, and their little one, Ume! While Baku lives separately to keep baby Ume safe, he’s still a big part of our tapir family. Tapirs are endangered and need our help.
