Stirrup bar

Clay vessel from ancient Peru, probably Chimú culture, late intermediate period, ca. 800 - 1200 AD. Clay vessel with a six-starred (club-headed) belly and base. The vessel has a stirrup-shaped hollow handle, which also serves as a spout. The belly is alternately three-coloured with light engobe and red and black painting. There are knobs on the handle. The object was purchased together with four other Peruvian vessels in 1925 for the collection of the Museum of the City of Ulm by the art dealer Dr Franz Xaver Weizinger.
