About the Item

Taukana Regui Wauja / Wauja People, Upper Xingu (Brazil) Ceramic Vessel, 2024 This exceptional piece of native Brazilian ceramics was created by the Wauja people of the Upper Xingu region, using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. The surface is adorned with hand-painted motifs drawn from Kulupienê, Yanumaka, and Temepiyana traditions—graphic languages that embody the Wauja worldview and collective memory. Natural pigments lend an organic depth, reinforcing the deep connection to earth and nature present in Wauja cosmology. Measuring 35 x 27 x 24 cm (13 3/4 x 10 5/8 x 9 1/2 in), the piece stands out for its visual strength and cultural significance. 15% of proceeds from this sale directly support the Wauja community, helping preserve their living heritage and autonomy.
