Description

Pre-Columbian, Peru (North Coast), Moche Culture, ca. 3rd to 5th century CE. A fantastic mold-made portrait vessel showing a figure holding a large panel of woven textile with a geometric pattern.

The textile merchant stands, holding up an example of his finest wares, woven from alpaca and llama wool and made to grace royalty and elites. This is a wonderful scene that gives us a glimpse into everyday Moche life.
