| Description | Flat base, flaring neck. Broken and incomplete Pottery; red-white-black. Painted in almost Tiahuanaco style Cup or 'qero' with a flaring body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The vessel is painted with bands of geometric (Tihuanaco style) designs in white, black, and orange. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "1013." |
