Vessel in the form of vegetables 6th-15th century

This vessel, made by the Lambayeque culture of northern Peru, is a striking example of their ceramic artistry. Dating back to the 6th-15th centuries, it is crafted in the shape of three rounded vegetables, likely gourds, connected to a central, cylindrical neck with a single spout. This unique form not only serves as a functional container but also reflects the culture’s close relationship with nature. The vessel's earthy brown glaze adds to its rustic aesthetic and evokes the colors of the Andean landscape.
