Description

Jug used for pouring chicha. Vessel body is round with no protruding foot. The neck is sculpted into the torso of a human-like figure with protruding arms, right hand holding a mug, left carrying a long tube, possibly a bottle. The figure wears a scarf around its neck with incised decorations at each end. The figure’s nose is small and protrudes slightly, while the eyes and mouth are incised. A headdress arches above the forehead with flaps that hang down over the ear area, decorated with incised lines. The top of the head is hollow and serves as the jug’s lip. Below this figure, the front portion of an animal emerges from the jug’s neck. 2 legs protrude below a long neck, and its head has a long snout, large eyes and pointed ears. The top figure appears to be riding the animal. A green glaze is found intermittently on the figure’s scarf, face, headdress, and hands, and on the head of the animal. A handle is connected to the jug at its shoulder and at the figure’s middle back.
