 This is one of the iron-glazed Buddhist vases from the peak of the Inka period. The slender oral part is turned outward at the apex to form a round body with a high pedestal, giving it a neat appearance. The base of the neck of the mouth has a single protruding band. The design of the seal is composed of fourteen petal-like patterns. The iron glaze has excellent coloration.
