Pot
The Chancay inhabited the central coast of Peru, and were conquered by the Chimú, then the Inca. Through interregional commerce, they were strongly connected to the many states and chiefdoms that surrounded them.
The context of this specimen is unclear as it was likely looted from a burial. This liquid vessel may have been used for storing chicha beer. It’s likely to date somewhere between 1000 and 1450 CE.
Donated by Major T.W. Gracey in 1958.
