NAZCA HUARI PERUVIAN POTTERY ANTHROPOMORPHIC VASE
An ancient Pre-Columbian Nazca or Wari Huari Peruvian hand crafted pottery vessel formed and painted into a depiction of a highly stylized man, possibly representing one of the so-called assets bearers, province noblemen in charge of collecting taxes. Ca. 500 CE. Note: The Nazca culture, also Nasca, was the archaeological culture that flourished from c. 100 BC to 800 AD beside the arid, southern coast of Peru in the river valleys of the Rio Grande de Nazca drainage and the Ica Valley. Strongly influenced by the preceding Paracas culture, which was known for extremely complex textiles, the Nazca produced an array of crafts and technologies such as ceramics, textiles, and geoglyphs.
