Fragment of a singing (hissing) vase depicting a figure, possibly a priest. The character wears a patterned poncho, a decorative necklace and a pointed cap. It is a pottery fired under oxygen-limited conditions, which resulted in a black surface, polished after firing. Peru, Chimu culture, 10th-15th century. Height about 18 cm, width 12 cm, depth 11 cm. The state of conservation is visible in the photographs. On the back you can see holes that once connected the second part of the container. On the side there is a crack.
