Description: A very rare Moche III nude young female bowl. This is a very unusual and rare form. Her lack of breasts indicate that she is a prepubescent female. The body of the female is hollow so that when liquid is placed inside of the bowl it enters the vagina and fills the hollow body. It can then be poured out of the vagina as a part of ceremony. Likely for fertility this is a very unusual piece. Manganese deposits on the surface, comes displayed on custom steel stand.
Condition: Perfect
Dimension: Height: 5.0 inches & Diameter: 9.5 inches
