The figure is depicted holding a small bottle in one hand and a flared cup in the other, a scene associated with festive social gatherings. The composition is accented by radiating decorative bands with serrated edges creating a sunburst effect. The base is hand-inscribed with the mark E-M and PERU. Measurement: 5 inches wide X 2.5 inches tall The item is in good overall condition. The natural surface shows various shades achieved through the burning process.
