Lime-flask neck made of tumbaga by lost-wax casting with core. It has six human faces at the top with two curved lines of facial painting crossing the eyes. Four holes around the base may have served to attach it to a gourd-vessel. The two components assembled (metal-neck and gourd-vessel) would have completed the lime-flask.
