Fragments. Seven fragments from a variety of Incan style vessels, likely aribalos. Mostly neck fragments. The 7 fragments are all painted with geometric decoration in red, and white. One of the sherds has bands of diamond shapes painted in white, black, and red. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange and buff and gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the object in black ink. Black ink on the interior side of each sherd reads: "1264c."
