Notes:
Lidded vessel shaped as an oblong hexagon with handles at the long axis and gold Greek Key band along the top and a small gold line along the handles. The vessel is footed with a raised design on the foot. The lid also has a gold Greek Key design along the edge and a small gold line outlining the handle. This was on exhibit in the Rhythms of Identity exhibition at the Smithsonian Latino Center (2000). The goal of the RI collection was to provide context for Afro-Cuban musical instruments. Most items were bought in Cuban botanicas and are mass-produced religious items.
