Huari Culture 100 AD-1200 AD
This is the only black ware Huari (Wari) portrait ceramic known to have survived. He is wearing a four corned hat. Pottery forms as this double-spouted vessels were seen else-where in Andean cultures, such as large urns, beakers, bowls, and moulded effigy figures. Decorative designs were heavily influenced by those used in Wari textile production. The Staff Deity was an especially popular subject for beakers, same as the warriors with dart throwers, shields, and military tunics.
