This fancy Chakipampa-style giant jar from Conchopata EA-205 includes the human face-lug that helps transform the vessel body into a person's chest. The pair of arches from the top of the head probably indicates female gender. On stylistic grounds, the vessel is best dated Middle Horizon 1a or early 1b.
