Moche Duck Effigy
A gorgeous Moche IV bird vessel from Peru, ca. 450 - 550 AD. This choice example is 6" high, 8" long and depicts a beautifully detailed duck portrayed in a realistic, lifelike posture. Its head, wings and legs are molded in high relief and are highlighted with cream pigment over the highly burnished red slip. In excellent condition, with nice mineral deposits.

See Hoyle "Los Mochicas II", page 54 for similar example from the Herrera Museum in Lima.
