Details: Replica of a Moche Culture Ceramic that is actually localized at the Pre-Columbian Art Larco Museum in Lima, Peru, well known for its gallery of erotic pottery. The ceramic represents a seated woman with vaginal opening Of the thousands of ceramic vessels that have been recovered, at least 500 of them display sexually explicit imagery, typically rendered as free-standing three-dimensional figures on top, or as part of, the vessel. As well as being works of art, the sex-themed vessels are also functional clay pots, with hollow chambers for holding liquid and a spout, typically in the form of a phallus, for pouring. Sex pots have been found almost exclusively in high-status burials, irrespective of the age or gender of the deceased; are often accompanied by other religious artifacts; were found to be produced at The Huaca Temple centers rather than in domestic contexts, and occasional depict sexual acts involving skeletons, deities, or religiously-significant animals. Eroticism in Moche Ceramics depicts a wide variety of sexual acts are represented: female to male fellatio is quite common; kissing and fondling; male masturbation (but never female masturbation); intercourse between heterosexual couples, in various positions; birthing scenes; also, intercourse between animals (copulating frogs, mice, dogs, llamas, monkeys, at times on corn or other food crops); and intercourse between human females and mythical animals (such as the bat and the jaguar who both had special religious connotations in Moche culture)." Note: The ceramic does not stay in upright position by itself
