Clay vessel from ancient Peru, Moche culture, probably early intermediate period, phase I - II, ca. 100 - 300 AD. Vessel made of red clay with yellowish engobe and red geometric painting on the belly. The belly is spherical with a base. The vessel has a stirrup-shaped hollow handle, which also serves as a spout. So-called stirrup or fork-necked vessels were a common type of vessel in the Moche culture. 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.
