This print showcases a remarkable pottery vessel known as the "Pottery vessel of Captive Deer-man" from the Mochica civilization. Crafted with earthenware by the Peruvian School, this artifact stands at an impressive height of 24.8 cm and is currently housed in a private collection. The Mochica people were renowned for their exceptional ceramic craftsmanship, and this piece exemplifies their mastery. The vessel features an anthropomorphic figure with distinct deer-like characteristics, including antlers sprouting from its head. Its intricate design highlights the skilled artistry of the ancient Peruvian artisans. With its unique spout and container shape, this artifact served both functional and aesthetic purposes in Mochican society. It is believed to have held important substances or liquids used in rituals or ceremonies, adding to its cultural significance. Dating back to pre-Columbian times, this primitive yet sophisticated artwork provides valuable insights into the rich history and artistic traditions of Peru's indigenous civilizations.
