Revival of a Shattered 1,000-Year-Old Chancay Effigy Jar

This video shows the restoration and revival of a shattered Chancay pre-Columbian effigy jar, an object estimated to be approximately 1,000 years old. The project demonstrates careful ceramic restoration work, including sorting fragments, aligning the original form, stabilizing the structure, filling losses, preparing the surface, and bringing the vessel back to a visually complete presentation.
