Nazca ( NASCA) Pottery Polychrome Figural StirrupVessel - Shaman Anthropomorphic Mythical Being (Human) with a Cat mask . Authentic Antiquity Pottery from PeruI was given the following explaination by a kind ebayer;It is actually an anthropomorphic mythical being (human) with a cat mask who is wearing a lizard signifier. The signifier is like an appendage in the place of a tail that signifies the type or orientation of the mythical being. This is the classic cat masked god. This partic...ular one is somehow affiliated with the supernatural powers of lizards. The gold leaf (with white dots around it) that the figure is holding is always associated with lizards. No one seems to know why.
