Vicus ceramics
Vicus culture developed in what is now the Andean region of Piura. This culture was strongly linked to the regional development of South-North Coast and the Ecuadorian-Peruvian coast and ceramics is the most direct example of this link. Vicus ceramics were decorated using the technique known as "negative", used also by other cultures, which consisted of painting the areas that surround the figures so that they appear as negative.This technique has been rescued with some variations, by potters Chulucanas.
This pottery is characterized by grotesque style that can be seen in the figures showing similar style also used the Moche. Found ceramic having animals, plants, scenes of everyday life and human faces like the "portraits" Mochica with traits of the people of Piura, similarly to those in Guayas and Manabi in Ecuador.
