Mochica Flaring Bowl with Stepped Design
This Mochica bowl (500–850 AD) features bold stepped patterns capped with spiral volutes. Such abstract designs symbolized sacred order and natural forces within Andean cosmology. Though the Moche are famed for realistic portrait vessels, this bowl highlights their equally rich use of geometric symbolism in ritual ceramics.
