This beautiful piece is painted in the Recuay style of pre-Columbian Peru with two images of a god from this culture; the lunar animal.  The piece also features the common geometric design.  Top of bowl measures approximately 9 1/2 inches in width, 3 1/2 inches in height.  A horn shaped handle extends from the bottom/side of the bowl.  It may be possible that the handle has been re-attached, but appears intact and complete without restoration.  Paint slightly worn.  Magnificent shape.
