3682	1988.21.20	Pot	As quoted from "Analysis & Redating of Moche Pot 1988.21.20" by Dr. Sue Grosboll: "The pot is now tentatively dated to 300-550 AD, based on the simplicity of the line drawing [relative to the greater complexity of late Moche fine-line designs] and the presence of a lip on the spout. This style of lip is more reminiscent of earlier Cupisnique pottery than of late Moche pottery, thereby suggesting a date in the early to middle Moche time period [100 BC to 700 AD is the span of the Moche culture]." Description: Base of pot and spout were produced separately and joined together. Spout moves vertically for two inches down and then splits into two separate passages into pot. Dirt is apparent in the spout and the spout is tan in color. Four figures are painted on the sides of the pot with various weapons, images and other objects around them. All four figures are dressed in headwear of various designs. The background behind the figures is tan while the base of the object is worn and orange in color. The drawing includes four warrior figures, in two groupings on either side of the pot. Between the warriors, scattered as background designs, are cacti. Each of the warriors is clad in a conical helmet or headdress and a tunic, is painted on the face, arms, and legs, and is carrying weapons. The attire is distinct for each warrior. This is because each warrior was not a soldier but a person of rank who designed their own uniform. The primary weapon for each warrior is a spear with a club at one end and a barbed arrangement at the other. Presumably either end could be used as a weapon. Two warriors additionally have a tumi (rounded-blade knife) hanging from their belts. One of these warriors is also distinctive for a more elaborate headdress made of a head wrap with two fans (probably made of metal). He also has a shield with three darts. Unlike the other warriors, his face painting is minimal. Color: TN,PR,OR
