The Cajamarca culture developed as a small independent state in the north highlands of Peru in wake of the Chavin horizon. Although little is known about this culture, the pottery of the region is distinct, with bold scrolls and geometric designs in brown, black, or red on cream-colored ground. Cajamarca remained independent until it was conquered by the Inca; in a twist of fate, Cajamarca was also the location of Pizarro's ambush of the Inca king Atahualpa in 1532, which marked the end of the Inca Empire.
AGE: 500-1000 AD CONDITION: Intact and in good shape with extensive deposits. The tripod legs are pierced and likely contained rattles at one point, although they no longer do so. DIMENSIONS: 6" wide and 3.25" tall |
