Context:
Jars with two spouts linked by a bridgelike handle were common in the south coast region of ancient Peru, and were manufactured by both the Paracas and Nasca cultures. In this case, one spout is modeled as a bird's head, and the other forms its tail. Paracas vessels are distinguished by incised designs filled in with thick, resin-based paint that was applied after firing. Unlike slip-painted decoration (which is bonded to the vessel during firing), the resin-painted surface is fragile. However, the technique produces a glossy surface and intense, saturated colors (including green, which cannot be obtained with fired slip). This vessel is decorated with felines, probably small pampas cats, and curving pods or chili peppers.
