Stirrup Spout Bottle with Sleeping Warrior 1st-4th century Moche This ceramic bottle was modeled in the shape of a sleeping warrior, with details of his attire rendered in white and reddish-brown slip (a suspension of clay and/or other colorants in water). The figure wears a conical helmet, secured to the head with a chinstrap, and embellished with what appear to be small metal disks sewn to the lower edge. The triangular elements of his necklace recall those made of metal or shell found in high-status burials (see, for example, Alva and Donnan 1993:75, fig. 74). The figures tunic features a geometrical design along the bottom; body paint (or possibly tattooing) is indicated on the calves and nose. Figures with their feet drawn up is a relatively common pose in Moche art (see, for example, accession number 64.228.34), yet the significance of this position is unclear. Is this an individual resting after an arduous battle? The interpretation of this imagery is challenged by the absence
