The Chimú are best known for their distinctive monochromatic pottery and fine metal working of copper, gold, silver, and tumbago (copper and gold). The pottery is often in the shape of a creature, or has a human figure sitting or standing on a Cuboid bottle. The shiny black finish of most Chimú pottery is not achieved by using glazes, but instead is achieved by firing the pottery in at high temperatures in a closed Kiln which prevents Oxygen from reacting with the Clay .
