ABOUT ART OF PERUVIAN POTTERY
The art of pottery is one of the most widespread activities in the Peru. The oldest ceramic known in Peru is the wayra jirka style of the Kotosh culture (1840 B.C.). The inherited techniques for the elaboration and decoration of ceramics are numerous, however, today the most popular ones are hand modeling, paleteado or beaten, colombin technique (changing the clay rolls into spiral forms or shapes) and the molding. Peruvian ceramic is exceptional for its composition and motifs. Evidence of that quality is shown in the Kotosh, Chavin, Paracas and Nasca cultures exhibited in different museums around the world. A large part of those objects have a ceremonial character.
