Nazca Pottery (6th century)

This is a South American piece made by the Nazca and it's a pot in the form of a fish with a double spout handle. Nazca is characterized by their polychrome pottery and use a variety of colors when creating a piece. Back then, the Nazca didn't have a writing system and instead used symbols in ceramic pieces as a mean of communication.
