This print showcases a Handle Spout Vessel in the Form of an Anthropomorphic Owl with Clasped Hands, dating back to 100 B. C. /A. D. 500. Crafted with exquisite detail and artistic finesse, this ceramic masterpiece hails from the Moche civilization in Peru's Santa Valley. The vessel takes on the form of an owl, a revered bird of prey symbolizing wisdom and mystery. Its anthropomorphic features are beautifully depicted through its clasped hands and seated posture, evoking a sense of reverence and spirituality. The cream-colored earthenware is adorned with intricate pigments that add depth and vibrancy to the piece. The handle spout allows for practical use as a container while also enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
