20.26

An unslipped jar with "coffee bean" eyes from the Tiwanaku site of Iwawi. The eyes, nose, and mouth depicted on the side of this vessel are clearly anthropomorphic and reminiscent of ones from Moquegua and Arequipa shown in Figure 20.25. It is difficult to identify the face as female, however. If vessel shape is significant, then it is important to note that this vessel is similar to the one with a more obvious female face illustrated in Figure 20.24d.
