Description
Vessel is made up of two barrel-like shapes, surmounted by a stirrup spout. Outer surfaces covered with a red-orange slip with traces of black painting on stirrup spout and on upper half of vessel body. Black designs on the 'barrels' are hatched and spiky, circular shapes. Each 'barrel' end has a large, recessed circle. Tall, slightly flaring spout. A well made ceramic with limited surface pocking.
History Of Use
The stirrup spout form has a long, continuous history on the north coast. The stirrup spout shape and the fine line painting in fugitive black are aspects of style that post-date Moche on the north coast.
Narrative
Early Chimu or Lambayeque Style, north or far north coast style, Middle Horizon, 750-1000 C.E.
Iconographic Meaning
The barrel-shapes in the vessel body may be representative of drums (p.c., Santiago Uceda). They also have the same form as one style of ear spools.
