    This jug has been a mystery for me for over 7 years, and in one day, just by changing my search words, I came across this site that helped me identify what it was. Although I still have no idea where it originates from or the age, at least I know it is a Botijo. I have never heard of it before, so Thank you. jug00001.JPG jug00003.JPG jug00004.JPG jug00005.JPG

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    I actually have some Cuban in-laws whose parents' parents used these as musical instruments in the 50s-60s.
    Coolio!
