Bottle representing a ceremonial complex

Moche Culture 6th-7th century AD

MUDEC - Museum of Cultures
Milan, Italy

The vessel represents three types of buildings: one with three solid walls and single slope roof, another with three front-entrance walls and a pair of single-slope roofs, and a third that is fully closed with a pitched slope roof. The complex is stocked with vases (all we see are the tops), which in reality were probably filled with food to be used during ritual ceremonies held at the ceremonial complex.
