This giant jar from Conchopata EA-208 is also missing its human face-lug located just below the shoulder of the vessel, from which stylized arms spread horizontally and turn down at the elbows, to define a human chest. On stylistic grounds, the vessel is best dated Middle Horizon 1a or early 1b, although decoration on the neck is consistent with Huarpa ceramic painting, and the orange background color of this vessel identifies it as belonging to the Ocros style.
