GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This vessel reflects the influence of Inca imperial expansion on coastal ceramic styles. This Late Horizon (1400-1532 CE) blackware vessel exhibits the distinctive features of a common Inca vessel form, the urpu, including the long, constricted neck, wide body, and flat base. The vessel body itself is rendered as a human head with elaborate head covering.
