Fork neck vessel

The fork-necked vessel has a small appliqué on the neck and 2 objects on the shoulders, which are interpreted as canna edulis or pied. The Ethnological Museum Berlin owns several such vessels. A very similar vessel from the Gretzer Collection there comes from Pacasmayo and still has well-preserved painting (SMB, Inv. No. V A 47707).
