Double spout Vessel c. 900

This double-spout vessel, crafted by the Paracas culture around 900 CE, is a striking example of their ceramic artistry. It features a bulbous, rounded body adorned with intricate geometric designs and stylized figures, painted in shades of red, white, and black on a buff-colored background. This vessel, a testament to the Paracas' mastery of pottery, likely served a ceremonial purpose. It is now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering a glimpse into the ancient artistic traditions of Peru.
