Botella en forma de felino

600–900 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 362
Durante la segunda mitad del primer milenio d. C. el pueblo huari, radicado en la región peruana de Ayacucho, dominó las tierras altas andinas. Su influencia cultural se extendía a los valles meridionales de la costa del Pacifico, de donde son originarias muchas obras textiles y cerámicas de alta calidad y brillante colorido en excelente estado de conservación. Esta hermosa botella, con un cuello en forma de cabeza de felino, combina los diseños del estilo huari con los densos colores y la superficie bruñida característicos de la tradición ceramista que floreció durante siglos en el valle de Nazca y los valles cercanos.
