Vessel in the Form of a Fish from the Middle Nazca Period
Fish-shaped vessels were made from about 100 BC to 600 AD and are part of the Nazca culture. NASCAR artists are known for their bold, colorful designs. They are keen observers of the world around them and depict many plants and animals in their work, but they seem more concerned with capturing the spirit and vividness of the subject than naturalism. The image of this fish is highly abstract, the scales are suggested by strokes, and the gills are represented by streamlined lines. It is round and fat, proving a rich food supply. Fish is a key component of the Nazca diet and often appears in their art.
