Description: This elegant vessel portrays a reptile, skillfully decorated with a heart shaped glyphs. Artists favored imagery of lizards, water birds, fish, and reeds. Surface-feeding or river ducks are indigenous to both North and South America. Reptiles like the one depicted here inhabited swamps and tule reeds, the same reeds that the natives used to build rafts, on the coast. You can imagine that marshes and rivers running through the predominantly desert terrain were treasured by the Moche as an important source of food and water. The form of this particular example ignites one's imagination.
