This ceramic bowl, crafted by the Nazca people of ancient Peru, is shaped like a trophy head with shut eyes and bound lips. The stylized human face, painted in black and white slip on an earthenware background, highlights the artistic skill and symbolic expression of the Nazca culture. Dating back to between 180 and 500 CE, this piece is a fascinating example of ancient ceramic art and a window into the rituals and beliefs of the Nazca people.
