Pumpkin mould
Pumpkin with parrot feet: The large pumpkin-shaped vessel stands on three small feet shaped like parrots. The symbolic content of the gourd is unclear. The parrot, on the other hand, is a sacred bird in today's Cora, symbolising Venus and the sprouting corn. It is possible that Colima's shaft-diggers also attributed divine powers to the parrot.
