Context:

In 1956, Tomás Lago (director 1943-1968) toured several places in Ecuador, such as Quito, Guayaquil, Imbabura, Pichincha, Riobamba, and the Amazon, in an effort to collect folk art pieces to preserve in the museum. In this way, objects made from different materials were added to its collection, highlighting objects made of Panama hats, reed, and corncob, pyrography mates, figures made in shells, seed and feather collars, native clothing, and other textiles.
