Palawan's Yawning Jar

OId is gold. The "Yawning Jar" is my latest 3D subject using physically based rendering — digitally sculpted in Autodesk #Maya and #Zbrush.

This jarlet is the earliest pot recovered in the country. It has a distinct rim that resembles a shouting or yawning person, hence the name. Discovered by Dr. Robert Fox in Leta-Leta Cave, northern Palawan in 1965, this jarlet is associated with the Late Neolithic period (approximately 1000 to 1500 BC). It was excavated in a burial site where a stone adze as well as other intact pieces of pottery – including a stem cup and a footed jarlet, both of which have also been declared national cultural treasures – were recovered.
