Stirrup Jar with Monkey and Three Fruits
The image depicts a ceramic stirrup jar with a monkey and three fruits. The jar is primarily tan with darker brown stripes and markings. The body of the jar is rounded with a narrow neck that leads to a spout, and it has a handle that connects to a small figurine of a monkey on top of the jar's body. The monkey is dark brown, sitting on the left side of the jar's body with its legs dangling over the side and holding a fruit in both hands. The three fruits are depicted as bulbous protrusions on the jar's body. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The jar casts a shadow on the surface below it. The overall style of the jar suggests it is of pre-Columbian origin, specifically Moche.
