Pot

This finely made burnished pot is in the shape of a cocoa bean. The vessel consisted of two mould-made hollow chambers, and there’s a rounded handle connected to the vessel’s neck and body. The first chamber, which included a spout, is missing.

Taken by the donor from tombs near Callao in 1881.
