stirrup-spout vessels
Nota de aplicación
Vessels, having a relatively stout shape, sometimes called "jars" or "bottles"; distinguished by having a double-branch/single-spout form that resembles a riding saddle stirrup. The form was known in Precolumbian art for 2,500 years. It has been suggested that the peculiar spout was used to prevent evaporation of the liquids contained in the vessel.
