Probably coming from the Moche culture, they were conquered by the Incas led by Túpac Yupanqui under the reign of Pachacutec and integrated into the latter's empire. Their capital was the archaeological site of Chan Chan. Diameter: 14 cm Height: 17.5 cm Reference: F50 24 All photos are on: www.antiques-delaval.com
