- Description:
- Coastal Inca, i.e. Chimor after the Inca Conquest. Ovoid blackware bottle, with short cylindrical neck, and wide flaring rim. Two small pierced lugs at opposite sides of the base of the neck. Shoulder and base are plain, but a wide decorative relief panel covers the majority of the body of the vessel. Panel background is a field of raised dots, and the main decorative motifs are a lizard viewed top-down, with legs splayed, with the tail of a snake in its mouth, which in turn has the tail of the lizard in its mouth.
