An undated note written by Warwick Bray is stored with the bowl: "This is a so-called 'Yotoco Bowl'. The type was made during the period ca.1/200 Ad - 800+ Ad in the Calima Valley (Yotoco period) of the Cordillera Occidental, and the adjacent parts of the Cauca valley. Some have been found further n[orth] in the Cauca valley (in the so-called Quimbaya region) but it is uncertain whether they were imports or were made there." (AMD,3/1998; info. from Clara Bezanilla).
