| Containers and serving vessels used in the ceremonial context of chicha drinking. In post-Columbian times these are hard-paste 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 like the bull, tiger, or llama. This example is a pitcher with circular base, globular body, short neck with an anterior spout and a posterior handle. It has incised and high relief decoration with anthropomorphic motifs, rosettes and maize. It is used in agricultural rituals. | |
