Guaiiape Zoned Red stirrup-spout vessel, said to come from Chimbote; spout restored. Chicago Natural History Museum no. 100121. X Other sherds have evidence of raised or depressed areas but are too small to show patterns. There are two examples of modeled animal faces on jar shoulders. One of these has a snout formed by the application of a lump of clay to the vessel wall. The mouth is a horizontal incision, the nostrils are deep punctations. and the close-set eyes are applied pellets with punctated pu- pils. Two horizontal incised lines radiate from each side of the upper face. These may represent whiskers and the face may be that of a feline. Three fragments of the other example fit together to form an incomplete face (fig. 68, D). The upward-curving mouth is formed by a fillet of clay into which the teeth were punched by means of a curved instrument, which may have been the split section of a reed. Pendent from the lower lip are four broad, deeply incised lines, of which the left pair curves to the left and the right pair to the right. The left eye (the other is missing) is a circular, flattened pellet with a reed-punctate pupil. The upper part of the face is bordered by a curving, deeply incised line.
