A broad, shallow earthenware vessel or container used in South American indigenous cultures for storage or cooking.
From indigenous South American language families, particularly from Spanish colonial records describing indigenous pottery and household goods; the word reflects pre-Columbian material culture.
Archaeological evidence shows indigenous potters had such refined techniques that they could create andia-style vessels so thin they were nearly translucent—ancient high-tech through hand skill alone.
