Peru

Size is about 6 inches tall and weighs about 329 grams.

The Moche water vessels from Peru, made between 100–800 AD, show the skill and creativity of the Moche people who lived on Peru’s northern coast. These ceramic vessels often have a stirrup-shaped spout and are decorated with detailed images of people, animals, gods, and daily life. They were used to hold liquids but also told stories about Moche religion, society, and traditions. Their realistic shapes and painted designs make them some of the most impressive artworks from ancient South America.
