  Ollas 
  may 
  have 
  crude

  The 
  stirrup-spout 
  vessel 
  is 
  about 
  as 
  characteristic 
  as 
  it 
  was 
  in 
  the 
  

   earlier 
  Mochica 
  Period. 
  However, 
  Chimu 
  stirrup-spouts 
  are 
  gener- 
  

   ally 
  rectangular 
  in 
  cross 
  section 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  small 
  modeled 
  monkey 
  or 
  

   other 
  figure 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  spout. 
  Other 
  typical 
  shapes, 
  many 
  of 
  

   which 
  are 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  Middle 
  Periods, 
  are: 
  double 
  whistling 
  

   jars 
  (pi. 
  60); 
  double-spout 
  vessels 
  with 
  flat 
  connecting 
  bridges; 
  

   tapering-spout 
  vessels 
  with 
  a 
  flat 
  bridge 
  which 
  connects 
  the 
  spout 
  and 
  

   a 
  modeled 
  figure; 
  globular 
  bowls 
  with 
  tapering 
  spouts, 
  with 
  and 
  

   without 
  single 
  flat 
  handles; 
  and 
  globular 
  ollas 
  with 
  flaring 
  or 
  angular 
  

   rims. 
  Under 
  Inca 
  influence 
  other 
  shapes 
  are 
  added, 
  such 
  as: 
  ary- 
  

   balloid 
  jars, 
  both 
  of 
  black 
  ware 
  and 
  with 
  painted 
  designs; 
  vessels 
  with 
  

   modeled 
  animals 
  at 
  the 
  collar 
  base; 
  collar 
  jars 
  with 
  flat 
  handles; 
  and 
  

   shallow 
  plates. 
  

  

  The 
  modeling 
  of 
  complete 
  vessels 
  and 
  of 
  small 
  figures 
  is 
  generic 
  ally 
  

   related 
  to 
  the 
  Mochica 
  Period, 
  but 
  with 
  considerable 
  decline 
  in 
  the 
  

   realistic 
  technique. 
  In 
  Chimu 
  ceramics, 
  the 
  figures 
  are 
  stylized 
  and 
  

   none 
  would 
  ever 
  be 
  called 
  a 
  portrait 
  jar. 
  The 
  animals 
  and 
  birds 
  are 
  

   difficult 
  to 
  identify. 
  Some 
  scenes 
  are 
  still 
  portrayed 
  in 
  the 
  relief 
  work, 
  

   but 
  they 
  lack 
  the 
  photographic 
  quality 
  of 
  Mochica. 
  

  

  Textiles 
  of 
  the 
  Chimu 
  Period 
  are 
  well 
  preserved. 
  The 
  development 
  

   of 
  weaving 
  is 
  also 
  represented 
  by 
  looms, 
  weave 
  swords, 
  weave 
  daggers, 
  

   and 
  spindle 
  whorls. 
  A 
  characteristic 
  decorative 
  technique 
  is 
  large- 
  

   area 
  embroidery 
  but 
  not 
  of 
  the 
  over-all 
  type. 
  Tapestries 
  are 
  still 
  

   common, 
  particularly 
  as 
  belts 
  and 
  borders, 
  and 
  the 
  warp-locked 
  

   technique 
  is 
  typical. 
  Gauzes, 
  single-faced 
  brocades, 
  and 
  warp- 
  

   pattern 
  weaves 
  are 
  plentiful. 
  Plain 
  cloth 
  is 
  decorated 
  by 
  painting, 
  

   tie-dye, 
  and 
  ikat. 
  The 
  fabricated 
  pieces 
  include 
  breech 
  clouts, 
  head 
  

   bands 
  or 
  turbans, 
  large 
  mantles, 
  and 
  shirts 
  with 
  and 
  without 
  short 
  

   sleeves. 
  

  

  Copper, 
  bronze, 
  gold, 
  and 
  silver 
  were 
  all 
  utilized 
  in 
  the 
  Chimu 
  

   Period. 
  Copper 
  and 
  bronze 
  were 
  used 
  for 
  ornaments, 
  but 
  utilitarian 
  

   artifacts 
  are 
  more 
  frequent, 
  such 
  as 
  points 
  for 
  digging 
  sticks, 
  needles, 
  

   clubs, 
  and 
  knives. 
  Gold 
  and 
  silver 
  were 
  hammered 
  into 
  goblets, 
  

   featherlike 
  pieces, 
  masks, 
  plates, 
  elaborate 
  earplugs, 
  beads, 
  and 
  other 
  

   ornaments. 
  In 
  fact, 
  metalwork 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  outstanding 
  achieve- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  this 
  period 
  (pi. 
  50). 
  

  

  THE 
  LATE 
  PERIODS: 
  NORTH

  Little 
  is 
  known 
  about 
  the 
  Late 
  Periods 
  in 
  the 
  North 
  Highlands* 
  

   Middle 
  Period 
  material 
  is, 
  however, 
  abundant 
  and 
  might, 
  in 
  part* 
  

   have 
  continued 
  into 
  the 
  Late 
  Period 
  times. 
  At 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  Chavin, 
  

   much 
  unidentified 
  Late 
  remains 
  have 
  been 
  found,
