Bird Spouted Vessel

Description

  • Moulded blackware water storage vessel
  • Vessel depicts two birds, one on the other's back
  • Spout is emerging from the top bird's back 
  • This type of earthenware vessel is given the name of "Huaco" in Peru 

History of Use

  • This type of pottery (Huaco) is usually linked to ceremonial, religious, or artistic uses rather than utilitarian due to their high provenience in burials and temples.
  • Native peoples of Colombia raided the tombs at Chan Chan where they found the huacas to sell to tourists. 

Informations d'arrière-plan

  • Chan Chan was the capital city of the coastal Chimu Kingdom, which developed from AD 1000 until AD 1476 at which time they were overcome by the Inca Empire. 
  • Mould-made, blackware ceramics are typical of the Chimu culture.
