Stirrup spout vessel; depicting a seated man
This ceramic belongs to the thematic group of sitting, meditating men. Many of them wear characteristic shirts and have their arms hidden under them. This man depicted on the pottery is a high dignitary of the Moche, recognizable by his ear jewellery, headgear and the protruding collar. He also takes up the meditating posture, presumably to initiate a ritual. Perhaps a ritual is also depicted or a participant in a ritual.
