Illustration
The vase is bell-shaped and depicts hunter-warrior figures with trophy heads. This is a typical "late" Nazca vessel with a proliferous design. The subject is depicted in profile and there is a use of complex and repeated motifs. This artistic development preceded the decline of a discernible Nazca style, explained in terms of the increasing influence of the Wari civilization. From Nazca, Peru, circa 550 CE.
