Antique Native Ceremony Pottery Jug Ancient Primitive Peru Terra Cotta

Description

When holding this in your hands, you have to wonder "Who held this before? What did they drink from it?" Unearthed from Peru or Mexico, the examples I researched show slightly similar examples with similar paint colors and styles from around 1890-1910.
Standing 8" tall with a ringed opening graduating to a small neck, a handle with built in spout, and a fat bulbous body of a 15 3/4" circumference. The bottom is 3 1/2" across, and it weighs approximately 580 grams.
There is a chip on the top neck's rim of the jug, the llama or other natural animal rope around the neck is frayed and dirty, the jug has ample aging from the elements and time. Most collectors agree that flaws add to the value of these types of pieces, so please ask questions prior to purchase if you need details.
It is a warm to the touch terra cotta pottery, made from regional clay. The tie is silk from alpaca or similar. All paints are of course from regional, natural elements. Flowers, leaves and lines, in green, dark brown, white and russet red. Excellent patina and film from age throughout.
