This fragmentary gold ornament depicting a Profile Attendant (height 2.3 cm) was recovered near the base of Pariti's Feature 2.

Plan of the 32-m2 area excavated in 2004-2006 by our Finnish-Bolivian team, locating Pariti's Features 1 and 2 in relation to walls or wall foundations associated with two Tiwanaku Period building phases, perhaps representing a temple. In the northern extreme are capstones covering two (post-Tiwanaku?) canals.

Kero PRT 00475 (height 14.2 cm). Six trophy head motifs circle the vessel's slightly protruding exterior torus. The kero's body displays two profile felines separated by steps ending in avian heads. Atypically, the felines' heads are depicted frontally.

Keros PRT 00216 (on the left; height 13.3 cm) and 00161 (on the right; height 13.4 cm). The vessel on the left features three design registers, the upper and lower of which display four trophy head motifs each. The kero on the right has a triple torus and the vessel's upper register displays five trophy heads.

Ch'allador PRT 00278 (height 27.6 cm) displays a rattlesnake that coils around the vessel 12 times. The serpent's modeled head peers over the rim of the vessel.

Ch'alladores PRT 00110 (on the left; height 24.5 cm) and 00111 (on the right; height 24.5 cm). The vessel on the left has crosswise tubes in its interior and displays both internal and external decoration. The interior of the "typical" ch'allador on the right is very richly decorated, whereas the decoration of its exterior surface is quite sparse.

Paired ch'alladores PRT 00508 (on the left; height 25.5 cm) and 00260 (on the right; height 24.3 cm). The vessels' exterior features three design registers, all displaying feline motifs. A thin wavy line in black circles both vessels' interior rim. Interestingly, the sherds of the ch'allador PRT 00260 were recovered in Pariti's Feature 1, those of its pair in Feature 2.

The interior of the tazon PRT 00463 (rim diameter 14.2 cm) displays three inverted avian heads close to the rim and two horizontal bands lower down. The vessel's exterior is undecorated.

The exterior of the small escudilla PRT 00453 (rim diameter 12.0 cm) is undecorated, while the interior of its narrow flaring rim displays four profile feline heads separated by zones of vertical bands in orange, black, and white.

Large escudilla PRT 00115 (rim diameter 28.5 cm). The interior of the vessel's flaring rim displays five profile felines separated by steps ending in avian heads. The exterior, on the other hand, displays three larger profile felines.
