An unusual terracotta blackware Chimu vessel depicting a fruit vendor. Angular vessel with a wide strap handle on the back. On top is a seated figure holding an incised rectangular box containing three small spheres, representing fruit. Overall in excellent condition with no damage or repairs. Very minor surface wear and light deposits, but generally choice and an uncommon motif. A fine example with nice detail and a very rare type.
