- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, South Coast Peru, Nazca, ca. 200 to 500 CE. A beautiful set of 2 hand-built pottery vessels from ancient Peru - a kero and a bowl - both with highly burnished surfaces painted with vibrant polychrome pigments. The kero features a round but stable base, a corseted midsection, and a thin rim surrounding the basin. Two rows of severed trophy heads encircle the exterior walls - the bottom of more minimalist aesthetic, and the top with stylized half-portraits. The larger bowl exhibits a round but stable base beneath tall walls decorated with 17 abstract marine creatures, perhaps a native Peruvian catfish species known as Trichomycterus punctulatus. Size (fish bowl): 7.3" W x 3.75" H (18.5 cm x 9.5 cm); (trophy head kero): 4.4" W x 4" H (11.2 cm x 10.2 cm)
Provenance: private Hidden Valley Lake, California, USA collection; (smaller jar): purchased on June 29, 2019 from CODA Gallery; ex-Selma and Herbert Moskowitz collection; (larger jar): purchased on September 26, 2019 from MBA Seattle Auction
