- Lot Description
Pre-Columbian, northern Peru, southern Amazonas department, Chachapoya (also Chachapoyas) culture, ca. 900 to 1470 CE. A hand-built pottery game board of an intriguing form with 12 shallow receptacles divided into four rows, each with an increasing number of segmented rectangular bars that range from five to eight. Two rows of white cups are situated within red panels, one row of red cups is within a red panel, and the last row has red cups within a white panel. The red periphery is lined with 20 bars filled with white segments, and the underside is hollow. The exterior rim displays an oscillating black stripe with petite dots within the parabolas, and the foot exhibits incised segments and circular impressions. Game boards like this were important tools used in social settings, and this game was perhaps played with inscribed dice and vibrantly colored beans. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 12.75" L x 9" W (32.4 cm x 22.9 cm)
