| 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 is a vessel with a conic and globular structure and a short neck. It is used for liquid transportation in torrid zones. Its structure permits it to be buried and as a result to keeps the liquids cold. | |
