| Containers and serving vessels used in the ceremonial context of chicha drinking. In post-Columbian times these are hard ceramics with glassy surfaces resulting from the application of a mineral glaze. May be brown, green, blue, red or any combination of colors. Vary in size and shape from handled jars pitchers, cups, and vases, to animal-shapes (bull, tiger, llama, hoof). This example of a recipiente is in the form of a man and a women. The head of each figure acts as the mouth of the vessel. The faces are molded and the bodies are modulated. The couple is dressed in the clothes of the era with painted details. | |
