Fork-necked vessel in the shape of a platform with man

The lower part of the vessel has the shape of a cuboid and is painted with a white painted with a white wave band on a red background, symbolising water or rivers. On a naked male figure with outstretched legs sits on this platform. He is leaning against leaning against a kind of wall and looking upwards. The spout of the fork-necked vessel is broken off. A very similar vessel (dated to 0-600 AD) from Chimbote in the Gretzer is in the Ethnological Museum in Berlin (see also description under SMB, Inv. No. V A 18525).
