Very beautiful ceramic of imperial style, representing a parrot ‘s head. There are circles around his eyes in order to accentuate them. The beak, very prominent, is also decorated. We can see two little handles next to the neck. The same vase can be seen in Archaeological Museum Rafael Larco Herrera, Lima, Peru.
