About the Item
A pre-Columbian ceramic bottle in the shape of a bird from Northern Coast of Peru likely Sican Culture that flourished from 8th to 14th century. The avian vessel features a hollow body with a long sprout on its back that connects the head with an arched handle.

The report indicates the age of the bottle is around 12th century. (Last firing 950 years +/-20%). This is consistent with the style of the Sican pottery with long and straight sprout and arched flat handle.
