Marajoara Ceramic Sentinel

The myth

Marajoara culture flourished on Marajó Island at the mouth of the Amazon, in present-day Pará, roughly between 400 and 1400 CE, before Europeans arrived. Its people built large earthen mounds, the tesos, which protected villages from floods, and produced some of the most sophisticated pottery in the Americas: great funerary urns with faces and geometric designs painted in red, black and white, as well as small ceramic pubic covers. The Marajoara were not a Tupi people, and they left no writing. The card's sentinel is a MYTHENOR creation: the designs on the vessel grew legs.

Why it has this power

A level 4 common with ATK 1450 and DEF 1400: solid and balanced, like a well-fired pot. It is an earth-element Machine, made of clay. Sun and Hammer are the kiln and the work of the hands that shaped it. One of the region's best commons for holding the field.

Did you know

Artisans in Icoaraci, Belém, still keep alive a pottery tradition inspired by Marajoara designs.
