Description
A bulbous orange ware duck vessel. The head, with generalized features, is a modelled addition and the wing and tail form a sharp shoulder on the vessel. The single central spout has a flaring rim and the base has a flared foot. Bands and wave-like designs, made by cutting away the background, encircling the spout and the vessel just below the wing line. Two perforated lugs flank the spout. Faint traces of red and black paint and geometric designs on body. Some chipping on rim.
History Of Use
Like Chimu vessels, this is a mold-made ceramic. The ring base is a feature of Lambayeque Style. The cultural interaction between Chimu and Lambayeque people is incompletely understood.
Iconographic Meaning
From the shape of the bill, the bird appears to be a duck or sea bird. The relief designs of interlocking spirals may derive from wave forms.
Narrative
Lambayeque/Chimu Style, Late Intermediate Period; 900-1476 C.E.
