We prove that an N-state vertex model representation of the An Hecke algebra quotient NHn(q) is faithful for all q. We use the result to examine the indecomposable content of these representations, and hence the structure of the centraliser algebra, which is generically a quotient of Uqsl(N), at q a root of unity. We achieve a complete analysis in the case N=2, finding a number of Morita self-dual algebraic structures.
