Contact
Favorite

The black vessel is shaped like a legume, probably the pod of the pacay or ice bean tree. It has a base and a forked neck with a small round appliqué and a curved rim. It is of the Chimú-Inca style. Comparable legume vessels can be found in the Ethnological Museum Berlin, including a vessel from the Macedo Collection (SMB, inv. no. V A 5623).
