This giant jar from Conchopata EA-208 is missing its human face-lug, located just below the shoulder of the vessel, and from which two stylized arms spread horizontally, to turn down at the elbows, creating the effigy of a person with decorated chest. On stylistic grounds, the vessel is best dated Middle Horizon 1a or early 1b.
