Rebeca Gualinga created this vessel as a statement of protest rather than a utilitarian jar meant to store things. A few years earlier, members of her community began raising their fists and proclaiming "ama llulla, ama shua, ama quilla" (Don't lie, don't steal, don't be lazy), which they believed was a greeting people used in the Inca Empire. Gualinga's three sons were revolutionaries, and she made this jar with three faces to symbolize their defiance of the Ecuadorian government.
