Description

Peruvian pot. Bottle takes the shape of a woman sitting cross-legged on a squared pedestal base. She wears a headdress that wraps her head at back from forehead to chin, with squares protuberances on the top corners and flaps at the bottom. A band across her brow holds two round flower motifs. A large collar surrounds her neck, and her hand rest on her knees. The bottle’s tubular handle emerges from the back of the figure’s head, arcing down to connect with the pedestal she sits on. A spout emerges from its top. Handle is painted a rust-red, as is the woman’s face, collar, and outlines along the edges of the base. The rest of the object is a mottled orange-brown.
