Chavín ceramics, created by the ancient Chavín civilization of Peru (circa 900–200 BCE), are renowned for their intricate designs and symbolic motifs. These ceramics often feature stirrup-spout vessels, a hallmark of Andean pottery, and are adorned with depictions of animals, mythological beings, and geometric patterns. The imagery commonly includes jaguars, snakes, and birds, symbolizing power and spiritual beliefs tied to their religion. Crafted with advanced techniques, Chavín ceramics were primarily used in ceremonial contexts, reflecting the culture’s sophisticated artistry and deep connection to their environment and cosmology.
