This double-spouted vessel originates from the Peru and is distinguished by its sculptural anthropomorphic design. One of the chambers is shaped as a human figure with a triangular face, deeply incised facial features, and applied ears. The neck is adorned with a finely carved geometric collar, and the chest and arms bear symbolic patterns, possibly indicating ceremonial or ritual function.
The twin chambers are connected by a bridge handle, and the surface remains unglazed, showcasing the raw texture and natural patina of the clay. With its balanced blend of form and symbolism, this vessel is a compelling example of Andean ceramic artistry rooted in regional identity and tradition.
