This burnished redware pot is in the shape of a snail with broad round spout set at an angle. It is decorated with a row of white circles below the vessel spout, and white-bordered black triangles at the rim. The spout shape and circular decorations are very similar to those of the Early Paracas style found at Ocucaje, on the south coast of Peru.
