fired clay/ ceramic, bicoloured (red decoration on a white/ cream background), rest.
The Moche were innovators on many political, ideological, and artistic levels. Moche skilled ceramists produced a great variety of exquisitely decorated vessels.
Moche society flourished on the north Peruvian coastal desert between the fourth and the eighth centuries A.D. Traditionally, Moche pottery is divided into five periods, Moche I to Moche V, according to the ceramic phases established by R. Larco Hoyle.
