Acervo Arqueológico de Cerâmica Marajoara, Archaeological ceramic collection in Belém, Brazil
The Acervo Arqueológico de Cerâmica Marajoara contains 2,167 ceramic pieces, including vessels, urns, bowls, figurines, and ceremonial objects from pre-Columbian Marajó culture.
Naturalist Domingos Soares Ferreira Penna gathered these artifacts during his exploration trips to Marajó Island in the 1870s, establishing the foundation of this collection.
The ceramic pieces display intricate designs and patterns that represent the social hierarchy, religious beliefs, and daily practices of the Marajó society.
The collection is stored in the Mário Ferreira Simões Technical Reserve under specific preservation conditions, with 1,067 pieces belonging to Museu Goeldi and 1,177 to Pará State.
The triangular ceramic tangas, worn as feminine garments, were custom-made for each wearer and their decoration indicated the social status within Marajó society.
