The bowl has no provenance - it was supposedly found by a peasant in someone's hacienda. That's why I say it's origin is dubious. How would you describe it? Even if it turns out to be real Sumerian, there's no archaeological context, no reason to believe that it wasn't brought to Peru in the 20th century. Donald, you are the one who think's it is Sumerian, you are the one to prove it.
