Stirrup spout vessel, representing a

The standing llama carries a transverse sack on its back. Llamas were bred as pack animals about 6000 years ago from the original form guanaco. They supplied the central Andes region by means of caravans until the 20th century.

Provenance and sources
Provenance
For numerous
Moche objects in the Carl Sutorius Collection, Chimbote is given as the
place of origin. However, this is the port of export and not the actual
place of discovery. Given the similarity with ceramics excavated by Max
Uhle in the area surrounding the Huaca de la Luna, it is assumed that a
considerable part of the Sutorius Moche collection originates from later
excavations following Uhle's activity in the same area (Kaulicke, Las
Ruinas de Moche, Lima 2014).
