Vessel (Owl Warrior;
owl deity)
The vessel with a funnel-shaped neck is designed in the shape of an anthropomorphised owl, also known as the "owl warrior". It holds a club and shield in its hands and is decorated with arm and neck jewellery. Quilter (2010) assumes that the owl warrior represents a new deity in the late Moche culture. A very similar vessel (0-600) can be found in the Ethnological Museum in Berlin (inv. no. V A 31538).
