Huaco of stirrup of zoomorphic format, whose body acquires the form of a dog, with incised ornamentation of geometric character. The Sicán or Lambayeque culture developed between the VIII and XIV centuries and, although in principle it only occupied the current territory of Lambayeque, it came to extend during its apogee, between the years 900 and 1100, by almost all the current Peruvian coast. Its ceramic production is characterized by its sober colors, often dark, such as black and gray, with a polished finish, although there are also softer colors such as cream or orange.
