Jaguar-shaped Vessels by A. Davey
from 650-700 C.E.* made by Wari (left side) & Muchik (right side) people living in the ceremonial site of Pachakamaq.
[image description 1: two small scale ceramics. both were made out of an earthy material with excellent craftsmanship. the one on the left has a rustic reddish brown color. the body is rounded and the legs jut out diagonally to support it. the face of the cat has very little detail on it. it has a flared spout on its back and has alternating white and black patterns, forming spots, stripes and rectangles around the spout. end ID]
[image description 2: the one on the right has a sandy, glossy appearance. characteristic of andean ceramics, it has a donut-shaped stirrup spout on its back. the jaguar's rosettes with dots and stripes were painted with an orange glaze. it has a chipped ear. unlike the other vessel, it has a very defined rounded face. its body is more rectangular and stocky, and it has stubby legs. end ID]
*rough estimate: from the chronology of the site, and the coexistence between the Wari & the Muchik.

[image description: big jaguar paw prints left behind in dried, spongy mud. some of the tracks form an arc, and others overlap. all four paws and paw pads are imprinted on the ground, along with the tips of their claws as they trekked through the mud. end ID]
