Description
Pre-Columbian, North Coast of Peru, Moche, ca. 300 to 700 CE. A hand-built blackware pottery vessel of sizable form depicting the face of a male on the front of the cylindrical spout. Perhaps a lord or warrior, the visage presents with almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, thin lips, and a pair of loop-form ears that perhaps displayed additional ornamentation at one time; the ears likely doubled as the vessel's suspension loops.
