Peruvian pot. Black clay bottle is round and bulbous, with a tall neck leading to a slightly flared lip. A monkey clings to the neck and shoulder of the pot by his feet and tail, serving as a handle. Around the body of the pot are printed in relief two rows of feline-like figures, with triangular heads, pointed ears, round eyes and open mouths showing prominent teeth, with arched backs and curved tails. These crouch on a background of small raised dots. The pot is partially burnished.
