Right, an example of a Wari hybrid vessel (Wari Norteño) from the San Jose site of the Lambayeque Valley (Editor's note: it seems likely that this vessel came from the site currently known as San Jose de Móro, which is actually located in the Jequetepeque Valley).

Such stylistic blending is widely apparent on Inka aribola in regions the Inka empire controlled, but earlier Wari hybrids and stylistic variations are considered a material correlate of interpolity exchange and interaction rather than political control.
