GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The coastal society called Nazca (Nasca) flourished in the Nazca and Ica river valleys of Peru from about 200 BCE until 700 CE. Its ceramic tradition continued the south coast preference for round‑bottomed, spouted vessels with strap handles and colorful painted decoration. Enhanced by slip paints applied before firing, Nazca vessels had a more durable surface than earlier Paracas examples.
