Vessel, red, head of a woman with lace veil

A ceramic form known from the precolumbian Chimú/Inca culture of the Peruvian coast. Only the motif is different. The motif is no longer mythical beings or sacred kings in full regalia, but a woman with European facial features and a lace veil. Obviously the Spanish conquerors and colonists have kept the technique of ceramics production on the Peruvian north coast and only changed the motifs.
