- Unusual gadrooned body, probably intended to represent a cucurbitae (gourd) and unusual seated animals, possibly viscachas (a Andean rodent) whose bushy tails form the lugs. Several vessels with viscacha like shoulder adornments have been excavated at Huaca del Pueblo Batan Grande, butnone was of this form. There is a band of incised wave motif on the short cylindrical, below a high, flaring/conical rim. The vessel sits atop a conical pedestal or foot.
