A finely molded pottery vessel with a stirrup spout, depicting a seated blind man leaning against a large rolled blanket. The figure is sensitively modeled with hollowed eyes, open mouth, and an arm drawn across the chest, his other hand resting at his side. Painted in cream and red-brown slip, the vessel reflects the Moche tradition of portraying human conditions and disabilities with striking realism. Such effigies are rare survivals that shed light on social identity, ritual practice, and the Moche emphasis on portraying the human condition in all its variety.
