Site:  Nasca Clados Number:  274 Culture:  Nasca Description:  bowl, C-60403, M.N.A.A.H.-Lima. Chronological Era:  Early Intermediate Period (EIP), Nasca 4 Phase. Iconographic Features:  Feline Head with Snake Rays depicted with feline head, two paws and two jagged serpents terminating in feline heads. Two snakelike streamers emerge from the mouth. Black painted background may indicate the night. The painting is very exceptional because of its use of colours in combination with the artistic convention of overlapping: dark and light orange are used to emphasise the illusion of space. Interpretation as celestial body.
