Grater Bowl Item Number: 2990/47 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Terracotta hemispherical grater bowl with a red slip band around the rim on both the exterior and interior. There is a four-tooth comb incised interior decoration consisting of two wavy line circles with short dashes between and in the centre. Several small sherds have been broken at the rim and repaired, and there are a few small pieces missing. The exterior surface has areas of grey and discolouration, and the top surface layer of clay has chipped away from some of the broken sherds and areas near the breaks.
Narrative
This bowl shows the influence of the technologies of the "Paracas Necropolis Culture" of the Pisco Valley and of Cahuachi in the Rio Grande de Nasca Valley in the final phase of the Late Paracas. This merging of traditions resulted in the development of the Nasca ceramic style. It is a Necropolis type, from the Pinilla site.
