GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This vessel reflects the influence of Inca imperial expansion on coastal ceramic styles. This Late Horizon (1400-1532 CE) Chimú blackware vessel exhibits the distinctive features of a common Inca feasting vessel form, the aryballos—a long, constricted neck, wide body, and pointed base.
