This Moche bottle, found in Piura (area were the Vicús Culture developed), depicts a building with enclosed spaces and a roof decorated with sculptural designs. Very different from Vicús houses, it appears to depict a way of life and aesthetic preferences in the context of the building designed by Moche communities geographically distant from Vicús settlements.
