| Notes: | Bought from the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) in Manaus, from the Maiongong Indians. Woven from the outer layer of split stems of Ischnosiphon arouma. The black dye is prepared by mixing the sticky resin from the bark of certain Inga species with a, fine soot produced by the burning of Protium (Burseraceae) resin. The rim is stiffened with an unknown wood, and bound with fibres from the leaves of Bromelia sp (Bromeliaceae), which have been rubbed in resin from a guttiferous tree (probably Symphonia, globulifera L.f.) According to Francoise Barbira Friedman (Dept of Social Anthropology, Univ. Cambridge), this food plate shows a design of the Panare Indians of the Orinoco. It has probably been made for the tourist trade as it is too flimsy. Paul Hea, ley (Granade Unit, University of Manchester) has written a book on Panare design. | ||||
