A hand-built ceramic with a central cylindrical spout surmounted by a ring handle. Vessel form may be a stylized rodent. Surface colour is predominantly orange with traces of fugitive negative decoration. Residue of white and orange may be slip decoration. Facial features, including eyebrows and nose, are modelled and incised. Vessel is thick walled and paste is coarse; patches of clouded grey from incomplete firing. Many cracks and breaks, reassembled with glue.
This style appears abruptly replacing a refined portraiture-oriented style that relates to the Early Moche Style. Sawyer suggests the Negative Vicus Style intrudes from the north, pointing out affinities with highland Ecuadorian styles. To account for the abrupt change he hypothesizes an invasion of barbarians from the north which forced the Early Vicus people to migrate southward.
Negative Vicus, Early Intermediate Period; 0-500 C.E.
