Beautiful scrap of pottery from the Taíno culture (692 B.C. - 1492 A.D.) in the tiny musuem of Esperanza, Vieques (see Vieques and Descontaminacíon, Rescate, Desarollo) in the northeastern Caribbean. The museum is operated by the Vieques Conservation and Historical Trust, which was founded in 1984 to save the island's bioluminescent bays. [NOTE: The little clay head is about the size of a nickel].
