- Description:
- Features conical spout, sharply angled pedestal base and a double-strap handle. While the features occur on Late Sican red-brown grave bottles at Huaca del Pueblo Batan Grande, the execution of this bottle in reduced ware and the presence of the adornments suggests, given the state of knowledge at present, that this is earlier than the grave at HPBG. The Sican cultural association is made by the adornments. This is an unfinished pot to which the usual incised details were not added. (original cataloger).
