Known for its unique "black background and white flowers" style, it is one of the most representative works of art in Peru's pre Spanish coastal civilization. Mainly using white as the base, drawing geometric patterns and vivid animal images in black or brown, such as fish, monkeys, cats, birds, as well as complex mesh patterns, squares, and Greek patterns. The production techniques include manual molding, as well as commonly using molds and small sculptures for decoration. Some vessels are decorated with head models on their necks, usually accompanied by headpieces, earrings, and facial paintings, known as "Chinas". In 2023, Swiss authorities returned Chancay style pottery.
