Trumpet 900 - 1100

This ceramic trumpet, crafted by the Mochica people between 900 and 1100, is a striking example of their artistic skill. The trumpet is shaped like a stylized animal head with a wide, open mouth and a ring-shaped handle. The Mochica people were known for their intricate ceramics, often depicting scenes from their daily lives and mythology. This trumpet is a testament to their mastery of clay and their ability to capture the essence of animal forms. The trumpet is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
