- Description:
- Orangeware with flaring rim. Outside is almost completely covered with burnished black manganese paint with areas and modeled details painted white. Two rectangular fields are painted cream with narrow cream stripes parallel to the long sides making a field similar to that of a carrying cloth. Such fields are a Chancay trait. An applique frog or toad occupies each field. The neck interior is painted c cream and has two pairs of black lines opposite the molded figures. There are two old chips on the rim. The body of the vessel (except for the rim) looks like a Wari shape, but the modeled frogs and the rim are more like Chancay.
