Fork-necked vessel in the shape of a seated person

The fork-necked vessel is designed as a seated, anthropomorphic figure figure. The spout is slightly damaged at the top and a piece is missing from the lower part. The figure wears a headscarf with a ribbon tied around the chin. She has wrapped a sling around her upper body, which is tied together at the front. Her hands are resting on her her knees. An almost identical vessel from Chimbote in the Baessler Collection can be found in the Ethnological Museum Berlin (inv. no. V A 17987).
