Description

Jug used for pouring chicha. The jug has a rounded body and the neck is shaped into a human-like figure. The figure has small, thin protruding legs as well as protruding arms with hands that hold two mugs and a bottle-shaped object. Around the figure’s neck is a scarf, with ends decorated with incised lines. The face is small, and topped with a wide hat with ear flaps. The top of the figure’s head is hollow and serves as the jug’s lip. A handle is connected to the jug at its shoulder and figure’s middle back. The body of the pot is covered with skin that is tied on with sinew. Sinew also wraps around the jug’s handle, and a braid of sinew spans between the handle and the figure’s neck.
