""Painting the Cosmos focuses on masterworks in pottery of the Indigenous culture of Coclé, representing one of the great art styles of the pre-Hispanic Americas. The ceramics of the Coclé culture of central Panama are comparable in beauty and sophistication to those of the Maya, Moche, Mimbres, and other Indigenous peoples of the Americas. This artwork represents a deep appreciation of the natural world and an effort to incorporate it into a comprehensive belief system that reflects the intellectual life of the ancient Indigenous artisans of Panama.""--John W. Hoopes, coeditor of Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia
