AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Inverted zoomorphic jar Quinua (Peru). Made of fired clay and hand-painted.
The peculiarity lies in its traditional bottom-filling system. The jug is filled by introducing the liquid through an opening at the base and, thanks to its internal structure, it can be placed in a vertical position without the contents spilling. The bird's beak functions as a pour spout.
The jar represents a stylized bird, with a globular body, an elongated neck that ends in an open beak on both sides, and a bridge-type handle located at the top.
It presents a surface with reddish-brown tones, characteristic of Quinua ceramics, decorated with vegetal and organic motifs
Dimensions: 18 x 16 x 12 cm
Weight: 526 g
It will be shipped with professional packaging and tracking code
