Peruvian pot. Black clay jug is round and bulbous, with a rounded bottom, and a short neck leading to a slightly overhanging lip. A wide handle curves out from just below the rim and meets the shoulder below. Around the body of the pot are printed in relief several rows of a repeating wave-like design, many sharp, some blending into the surface of the pot.
