Stirrup-spout anthropomorphic bottle
Moche Culture phase 1I B.C. - IX A.D.
MUDEC - Museum of Cultures
Milan, Italy
The stirrup-spout bottle depicts a seated pardianthrope (or a priest wearing a jaguar mask) adorned with a collar of rectangular beads. Three volute crests emerge from the figure's head. The motif of the crested jaguar, originating in the Recuay culture, is particularly prominent in the early phases of the Moche culture.
