Container, boat with paddling fisherman; transporting a shark and a ray as prey
This vessel shows a fisherman sitting and paddling on a boat made of totora reed. Behind him lies his prey, a ray and a shark. These boats made of totora, called caballitos de totora (seahorses made of reeds), are still in use on the Peruvian north coast, in Huanchaco. On the Peruvian coast, rays only appear during the El Niño phenomenon, so the ceramics point to this climatic anomaly. During an El Niño it rains heavily on the otherwise desert-like coast of Peru.

- Provenance

There is no confirmed provenance for this object. Like many objects in museum collections, it comes from looted graves. Since there is a great similarity with ceramics recovered by Max Uhle from his excavations at Huaca de la Luna, we assume that this pottery also comes from the same context.
