Fork-necked vessel with crab motif

The central motif in the shoulder area of the black neck vessel depicts a crustacean or crab. A monkey (?) is applied to the neck and two tapering elements on the belly (cf. Ethnological Museum Berlin, SMB, Inv. No. V A 17178). The rim of the spout was already damaged, see file card. A similar vessel from Pacasmayo in the Gretzer Collection is in the Ethnological Museum Berlin (SMB, inv. no. V A 17177).
