Dear Camilla,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and my sincere apologies for the delay

The presented object appears to be a Pre-Columbian ceramic blackware vessel with a height of 5 inches. This piece is in technique and motif comparable to pieces from Peru 700-1350 AD
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 80 to 180 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
